## org.apache.commons.configuration
Class DefaultConfigurationBuilder.ConfigurationDeclaration

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.commons.configuration.beanutils.XMLBeanDeclaration
          org.apache.commons.configuration.DefaultConfigurationBuilder.ConfigurationDeclaration

All Implemented Interfaces:
  BeanDeclaration

Enclosing class:
  DefaultConfigurationBuilder

    public static class DefaultConfigurationBuilder.ConfigurationDeclaration

extends XMLBeanDeclaration

A specialized `BeanDeclaration` implementation that represents the declaration of a configuration source.

Instances of this class are able to extract all information about a configuration source from the configuration definition file. The declaration of a configuration source is very similar to a bean declaration processed by `XMLBeanDeclaration`. There are very few differences, e.g. some reserved attributes like `optional` and `at` and the fact that a bean factory is never needed.

Field Summary

`ATTR_BEAN_CLASS, ATTR_BEAN_FACTORY, ATTR_FACTORY_PARAM, ATTR_PREFIX, RESERVED_PREFIX`

Constructor Summary
`DefaultConfigurationBuilder.ConfigurationDeclaration(DefaultConfigurationBuilder builder, HierarchicalConfiguration config)` Creates a new instance of `ConfigurationDeclaration` and initializes it.

Method Summary
`String` | `getAt()` Returns the value of the `at` attribute.
`String` | `getBeanClassName()` Returns the bean's class name.
`String` | `getBeanFactoryName()` Returns the name of the bean factory.
`DefaultConfigurationBuilder` | `getConfigurationBuilder()` Returns the associated configuration builder.
`protected Object` | `interpolate(Object value)` Performs interpolation.
`boolean` | `isForceCreate()` Returns a flag whether this configuration should always be created and added to the resulting combined configuration.
`boolean` | `isOptional()` Returns a flag whether this is an optional configuration.
`protected boolean` | `isReservedNode(ConfigurationNode nd)` Checks whether the given node is reserved.

Constructor Detail

### DefaultConfigurationBuilder.ConfigurationDeclaration

    public DefaultConfigurationBuilder.ConfigurationDeclaration(DefaultConfigurationBuilder builder,
                                                                HierarchicalConfiguration config)

  Creates a new instance of `ConfigurationDeclaration` and initializes it.

  Parameters:
    `builder` - the associated configuration builder
    `config` - the configuration this declaration is based onto

Method Detail

### getConfigurationBuilder

    public DefaultConfigurationBuilder getConfigurationBuilder()

  Returns the associated configuration builder.

  Returns:
    the configuration builder

### getAt

    public String getAt()

  Returns the value of the `at` attribute.

  Returns:
    the value of the `at` attribute (can be null)

### isOptional

    public boolean isOptional()

  Returns a flag whether this is an optional configuration.

  Returns:
    a flag if this declaration points to an optional configuration

### isForceCreate

    public boolean isForceCreate()

  Returns a flag whether this configuration should always be created and added to the resulting combined configuration. This flag is evaluated only for optional configurations whose normal creation has caused an error. If for such a configuration the `forceCreate` attribute is set and the corresponding configuration provider supports this mode, an empty configuration will be created and added to the resulting combined configuration.

  Returns:
    the value of the `forceCreate` attribute
  Since:
    1.4

### getBeanFactoryName

    public String getBeanFactoryName()

  Returns the name of the bean factory. For configuration source declarations always a reserved factory is used. This factory's name is returned by this implementation.

  Specified by:
    `getBeanFactoryName` in interface `BeanDeclaration`
  Overrides:
    `getBeanFactoryName` in class `XMLBeanDeclaration`
  Returns:
    the name of the bean factory

### getBeanClassName

    public String getBeanClassName()

  Returns the bean's class name. This implementation will always return null.

  Specified by:
    `getBeanClassName` in interface `BeanDeclaration`
  Overrides:
    `getBeanClassName` in class `XMLBeanDeclaration`
  Returns:
    the name of the bean's class

### isReservedNode

    protected boolean isReservedNode(ConfigurationNode nd)

  Checks whether the given node is reserved. This method will take further reserved attributes into account

  Overrides:
    `isReservedNode` in class `XMLBeanDeclaration`
  Parameters:
    `nd` - the node
  Returns:
    a flag whether this node is reserved

### interpolate

    protected Object interpolate(Object value)

  Performs interpolation. This implementation will delegate interpolation to the configuration builder, which takes care that the currently constructed configuration is taken into account, too.

  Overrides:
    `interpolate` in class `XMLBeanDeclaration`
  Parameters:
    `value` - the value to be interpolated
  Returns:
    the interpolated value
