Class Poco::Util::LayeredConfiguration

Library: Util
Package: Configuration
Header: Poco/Util/LayeredConfiguration.h

Description

A LayeredConfiguration consists of a number of AbstractConfigurations.

When reading a configuration property in a LayeredConfiguration, all added configurations are searched, in order of their priority. Configurations with lower priority values have precedence.

When setting a property, the property is always written to the first writeable configuration (see addWriteable()). If no writeable configuration has been added to the LayeredConfiguration, and an attempt is made to set a property, a RuntimeException is thrown.

Every configuration added to the LayeredConfiguration has a priority value. The priority determines the position where the configuration is inserted, with lower priority values coming before higher priority values.

If no priority is specified, a priority of 0 is assumed.

Member Functions

add

void add(
AbstractConfiguration * pConfig
);

Adds a read-only configuration to the back of the LayeredConfiguration. The LayeredConfiguration does not take ownership of the given configuration. In other words, the configuration's reference count is incremented.

add

void add(
AbstractConfiguration * pConfig,
bool shared
);

Adds a read-only configuration to the back of the LayeredConfiguration. If shared is false, the LayeredConfiguration takes ownership of the given configuration (and the configuration's reference count remains unchanged).

add

void add(
AbstractConfiguration * pConfig,
int priority
);

Adds a read-only configuration to the LayeredConfiguration. The LayeredConfiguration does not take ownership of the given configuration. In other words, the configuration's reference count is incremented.

add

void add(
    AbstractConfiguration * pConfig,
    int priority,
    bool shared
);

Adds a read-only configuration the LayeredConfiguration. If shared is false, the LayeredConfiguration takes ownership of the given configuration (and the configuration's reference count remains unchanged).

add

void add(
    AbstractConfiguration * pConfig,
    int priority,
    bool writeable,
    bool shared
);

Adds a configuration to the LayeredConfiguration. If shared is false, the LayeredConfiguration takes ownership of the given configuration (and the configuration's reference count remains unchanged).

addFront

void addFront(
AbstractConfiguration * pConfig
);

Deprecated. This function is deprecated and should no longer be used.

Adds a read-only configuration to the front of the LayeredConfiguration. The LayeredConfiguration does not take ownership of the given configuration. In other words, the configuration's reference count is incremented.
