Method Detail

name

@NotNull
@NotNull ConfigurationBuilder name(@NotNull
                                   @NotNull String configName)

Define configuration name. Optional for the as(Class), asCollection(Class) and has(Class) methods, mandatory for the others.

Parameters:

configName - Relative path

Returns:

Configuration builder

as

@NotNull
<T> T as(@NotNull
         @NotNull Class<T> clazz)

Get configuration as singleton resource and its properties mapped to the given annotation class. Configuration name is optional - if not given via name(String) method it is derived from the annotation interface class name.

Type Parameters:

T - Annotation class type

Parameters:

clazz - Annotation interface class

Returns:

Configuration object. Contains only the default values if content resource or configuration cannot be found.

asCollection

@NotNull
<T> @NotNull Collection<T> asCollection(@NotNull
                                        @NotNull Class<T> clazz)

Get collection of configuration resources with their properties mapped to the given annotation class. Configuration name is optional - if not given via name(String) method it is derived from the annotation interface class name.

Type Parameters:

T - Annotation class type

Parameters:

clazz - Annotation interface class

Returns:

Collection of configuration objects. Is empty if content resource or configuration cannot be found.

asValueMap

@NotNull
@NotNull org.apache.sling.api.resource.ValueMap asValueMap()

Get configuration as singleton resource and return its properties as value map.

Returns:

Value map. If content resource or configuration cannot be found the map is empty unless default or configuration override values are present for this configuration.

asValueMapCollection

@NotNull
@NotNull Collection<org.apache.sling.api.resource.ValueMap> asValueMapCollection()

Get collection of configuration resources with their properties mapped to the given annotation class.

Returns:

Collection of value maps. Is empty if content resource or configuration cannot be found.

asAdaptable

<T> T asAdaptable(@NotNull
                  @NotNull Class<T> clazz)

Get configuration as singleton configuration resource and adapt it to the given class.

Type Parameters:

T - Annotation class type

Parameters:

clazz - Class that can be adapted from a Resource

Returns:

Object instance or null if content resource or configuration cannot be found or if the adaption was not possible.

asAdaptableCollection

@NotNull
<T> @NotNull Collection<T> asAdaptableCollection(@NotNull
                                                 @NotNull Class<T> clazz)

Get collection of configuration resources and adapt them to the given class.

Type Parameters:

T - Annotation class type

Parameters:

clazz - Class that can be adapted from a Resource

Returns:

Collection of object instances. Is empty if content resource or configuration cannot be found or if the adaption was not possible.

has

<T> boolean has(@NotNull
                @NotNull Class<T> clazz)

This method checks for the configuration existence based on configName defined in the configuration definition. It extracts the configName from the given annotation class and checks if the configuration is available for the context path in the current resource hierarchy. If not found, also checks in the global fall-back paths configured via org.apache.sling.caconfig.resource.impl.def.DefaultConfigurationResourceResolvingStrategy which by default are /conf/global, /apps/config and /libs/config.This method does not consider the default values provided in the configuration definition.

Type Parameters:

T - Annotation class type

Parameters:

clazz - Class that can be adapted from a Resource

Returns:

True/False based on configuration resource node existence.

has

boolean has(@NotNull
            @NotNull String configName)

This method checks for the configuration existence based on provided configName value. It checks if the configuration is available for the context path in the current resource hierarchy and if not found, also checks in the global fall-back paths configured via org.apache.sling.caconfig.resource.impl.def.DefaultConfigurationResourceResolvingStrategy which by default are /conf/global, /apps/config and /libs/config. This method does not consider the default values provided in the configuration definition.

Parameters:

configName - Name of the configuration

Returns:

True/False based on configuration resource node existence.
