Constructor Detail

PropertySet

public PropertySet()

Method Detail

appendName

public void appendName(java.lang.String name)

Allow properties of a particular name in the set.

Parameters:

name - the property name to allow.

appendRegex

public void appendRegex(java.lang.String regex)

Allow properties whose names match a regex in the set.

Parameters:

regex - the regular expression to use.

appendPrefix

public void appendPrefix(java.lang.String prefix)

Allow properties whose names start with a prefix in the set.

Parameters:

prefix - the prefix to use.

appendBuiltin

public void appendBuiltin(PropertySet.BuiltinPropertySetName b)

Allow builtin (all, system or commandline) properties in the set.

Parameters:

b - the type of builtin properties.

setMapper

public void setMapper(java.lang.String type,
                      java.lang.String from,
                      java.lang.String to)

Set a mapper to change property names.

Parameters:

type - mapper type.

from - source pattern.

to - output pattern.

addPropertyref

public void addPropertyref(PropertySet.PropertyRef ref)

Add a property reference (nested element) to the references to be used.

Parameters:

ref - a property reference.

addPropertyset

public void addPropertyset(PropertySet ref)

Add another property set to this set.

Parameters:

ref - another property set.

createMapper

public Mapper createMapper()

Create a mapper to map the property names.

Returns:

a mapper to be configured.

add

public void add(FileNameMapper fileNameMapper)

Add a nested FileNameMapper.

Parameters:

fileNameMapper - the mapper to add.

Since:

Ant 1.6.3

setDynamic

public void setDynamic(boolean dynamic)

Set whether to reevaluate the set everytime the set is used. Default is true.

Parameters:

dynamic - if true, reevaluate the property set each time the set is used. if false cache the property set the first time and use the cached set on subsequent occasions.

setNegate

public void setNegate(boolean negate)

Set whether to negate results. If "true", all properties not selected by nested elements will be returned. Default is "false".

Parameters:

negate - if true, negate the selection criteria.

getDynamic

public boolean getDynamic()

Get the dynamic attribute.

Returns:

true if the property set is to be evalulated each time it is used.

getMapper

public Mapper getMapper()

Get the mapper attribute.

Returns:

the mapper attribute.

getProperties

public java.util.Properties getProperties()

This is the operation to get the existing or recalculated properties.

Returns:

the properties for this propertyset.

getRef

protected PropertySet getRef()

Performs the check for circular references and returns the referenced PropertySet.

Returns:

the referenced PropertySet.

setRefid

public final void setRefid(Reference r)

Sets the value of the refid attribute.

Overrides:

setRefid in class DataType

Parameters:

r - the reference this datatype should point to.

Throws:

BuildException - if another attribute was set, since refid and all other attributes are mutually exclusive.

assertNotReference

protected final void assertNotReference()

Ensures this data type is not a reference.

Calling this method as the first line of every bean method of this data type (setXyz, addXyz, createXyz) ensure proper handling of the refid attribute.

Throws:

BuildException - if the refid attribute was already set, since refid and all other attributes are mutually exclusive.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

A debug toString. This gets a comma separated list of key=value pairs for the properties in the set. The output order is sorted according to the keys' natural order.

Overrides:

toString in class DataType

Returns:

a string rep of this object.

iterator

public java.util.Iterator iterator()

Fulfill the ResourceCollection interface.

Specified by:

iterator in interface ResourceCollection

Returns:

an Iterator of Resources.

Since:

Ant 1.7

size

public int size()

Fulfill the ResourceCollection contract.

Specified by:

size in interface ResourceCollection

Returns:

the size of this ResourceCollection.

isFilesystemOnly

public boolean isFilesystemOnly()

Fulfill the ResourceCollection contract.

Specified by:

isFilesystemOnly in interface ResourceCollection

Returns:

whether this is a filesystem-only resource collection.
