public abstract class AbstractConfigBase
extends AbstractEntity

base class for preferences based persistence, mainly configuration stuff, that need to be available independant of existing database connnections.

Configuration is splitted into 2 parts, system defaults and user custom settings. System defaults are common to all childclasses and the base location is symbolized by the classname of SystemDefault, returned as persistence name. Classes that want different location for system defaults must override the getPersistenceName.

Not every system setting is allowed to be overwritten by user customization. So thats the role of getUserAttributes, which returns a list of property names.

Default is to store the user properties in nodes, build by the classpath of the configuration entity, whereas all system properties will be stored in the same node.

public AbstractConfigBase()

Method Detail

getPersistenceName

public String getPersistenceName()

system default settings of all descendants go to the same node, given by this method. If a descendant should have its own system node, override this method.

Specified by:

getPersistenceName in interface Entity

Overrides:

getPersistenceName in class AbstractEntity

Returns:

the entity-name used for persistence

getSystemClass

public Class<?> getSystemClass()

Description copied from interface: Entity

return the classtype for system usage

Specified by:

getSystemClass in interface Entity

Overrides:

getSystemClass in class AbstractEntity

Returns:

a class

isUserType

public final boolean isUserType()

configuration IS per default a system type. Single properties may be declared to belong to ordinary users. Those overrideable properties have to be specified by getUserAttributes.

Specified by:

isUserType in interface Entity

Overrides:

isUserType in class AbstractEntity

Returns:

true or false

getSupportedDBDrivers

protected Map<String,Boolean> getSupportedDBDrivers()
