Interface Config

All Known Implementing Classes:
ConfigBase, LaTeXConfig, XhtmlConfig

public interface Config

This is an interface for configuration of a Converter. A configuration always supports simple name/value options. In addition, you can read and write configurations using streams or abstract file names. The format depends on the Converter implementation, cf. the user's manual.


Method Summary
 java.lang.String getOption(java.lang.String sName)
          Get a named option
 void read(java.io.File file)
          Read a configuration (file based version)
 void read(java.io.InputStream is)
          Read a configuration (stream based version)
 void readDefaultConfig(java.lang.String sName)
          Read a default configuration: The available configurations depend on the Converter implementation
 void setOption(java.lang.String sName, java.lang.String sValue)
          Set a name/value option.
 void write(java.io.File file)

read

void read(java.io.InputStream is)
          throws java.io.IOException
Read a configuration (stream based version)

Parameters:
is - the InputStream to read from
Throws:
java.io.IOException - if an error occurs reading the stream, or the data is not in the right format

read

void read(java.io.File file)
          throws java.io.IOException
Read a configuration (file based version)

Parameters:
file - the File to read from
Throws:
java.io.IOException - if the file does not exist, an error occurs reading the file, or the data is not in the right format

write

void write(java.io.OutputStream os)
           throws java.io.IOException
Write the configuration (stream based version)

Parameters:
os - the OutputStream to write to

setOption

void setOption(java.lang.String sName,
               java.lang.String sValue)
Set a name/value option. Options that are not defined by the Converter implementation as well as null values are silently ignored
