    • Method Detail

      • setIncludesAllowed

        T setIncludesAllowed​(boolean f)
        Sets a flag whether include files are supported by the properties configuration object. If set to true, files listed by an include property are loaded automatically.
        Parameters:
        f - the value of the flag
        Returns:
        a reference to this object for method chaining
      • setLayout

        T setLayout​(PropertiesConfigurationLayout layout)
        Sets the layout object for the properties configuration object. With this method a custom layout object can be set. If no layout is provided, the configuration will use a default layout.
        Parameters:
        layout - the PropertiesConfigurationLayout object to be used by the configuration
        Returns:
        a reference to this object for method chaining
      • setIOFactory

        T setIOFactory​(PropertiesConfiguration.IOFactory factory)
        Sets the IOFactory to be used by the properties configuration object. With this method a custom factory for input and output streams can be set. This allows customizing the format of properties read or written by the configuration. If no IOFactory is provided, the configuration uses a default one.
        Parameters:
        factory - the IOFactory to be used by the configuration
        Returns:
        a reference to this object for method chaining
