Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
ConfigurableConversionService	getConversionService()
void	setConversionService(ConfigurableConversionService conversionService) Set the ConfigurableConversionService to be used when performing type conversions on properties.
void	setIgnoreUnresolvableNestedPlaceholders(boolean ignoreUnresolvableNestedPlaceholders) Set whether to throw an exception when encountering an unresolvable placeholder nested within the value of a given property.
void	setPlaceholderPrefix(String placeholderPrefix) Set the prefix that placeholders replaced by this resolver must begin with.
void	setPlaceholderSuffix(String placeholderSuffix) Set the suffix that placeholders replaced by this resolver must end with.
void	setRequiredProperties(String... requiredProperties) Specify which properties must be present, to be verified by validateRequiredProperties().
void	setValueSeparator(String valueSeparator) Specify the separating character between the placeholders replaced by this resolver and their associated default value, or null if no such special character should be processed as a value separator.
void	validateRequiredProperties() Validate that each of the properties specified by setRequiredProperties(java.lang.String...) is present and resolves to a non-null value.

Method Detail

getConversionService

ConfigurableConversionService getConversionService()

Returns:

the ConfigurableConversionService used when performing type conversions on properties.

The configurable nature of the returned conversion service allows for the convenient addition and removal of individual Converter instances:

 ConfigurableConversionService cs = env.getConversionService();
 cs.addConverter(new FooConverter());
 

See Also:

PropertyResolver.getProperty(String, Class), ConverterRegistry.addConverter(org.springframework.core.convert.converter.Converter<?, ?>)

setConversionService

void setConversionService(ConfigurableConversionService conversionService)

Set the ConfigurableConversionService to be used when performing type conversions on properties.

Note: as an alternative to fully replacing the ConversionService, consider adding or removing individual Converter instances by drilling into getConversionService() and calling methods such as #addConverter.

See Also:

PropertyResolver.getProperty(String, Class), getConversionService(), ConverterRegistry.addConverter(org.springframework.core.convert.converter.Converter<?, ?>)

setPlaceholderPrefix

void setPlaceholderPrefix(String placeholderPrefix)

Set the prefix that placeholders replaced by this resolver must begin with.

setPlaceholderSuffix

void setPlaceholderSuffix(String placeholderSuffix)

Set the suffix that placeholders replaced by this resolver must end with.

setValueSeparator

void setValueSeparator(String valueSeparator)

Specify the separating character between the placeholders replaced by this resolver and their associated default value, or null if no such special character should be processed as a value separator.

setRequiredProperties

void setRequiredProperties(String... requiredProperties)

Specify which properties must be present, to be verified by validateRequiredProperties().

validateRequiredProperties

void validateRequiredProperties()
                                throws MissingRequiredPropertiesException

Validate that each of the properties specified by setRequiredProperties(java.lang.String...) is present and resolves to a non-null value.

Throws:

MissingRequiredPropertiesException - if any of the required properties are not resolvable.

setIgnoreUnresolvableNestedPlaceholders

void setIgnoreUnresolvableNestedPlaceholders(boolean ignoreUnresolvableNestedPlaceholders)

Set whether to throw an exception when encountering an unresolvable placeholder nested within the value of a given property. A false value indicates strict resolution, i.e. that an exception will be thrown. A true value indicates that unresolvable nested placeholders should be passed through in their unresolved ${...} form.

Implementations of PropertyResolver.getProperty(String) and its variants must inspect the value set here to determine correct behavior when property values contain unresolvable placeholders.
