All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable, Map

public class CustomProperties
extends HashMap

Maintains the instances of CustomProperty that belong to a DocumentSummaryInformation. The class maintains the names of the custom properties in a dictionary. It implements the Map interface and by this provides a simplified view on custom properties: A property's name is the key that maps to a typed value. This implementation hides property IDs from the developer and regards the property names as keys to typed values.

While this class provides a simple API to custom properties, it ignores the fact that not names, but IDs are the real keys to properties. Under the hood this class maintains a 1:1 relationship between IDs and names. Therefore you should not use this class to process property sets with several IDs mapping to the same name or with properties without a name: the result will contain only a subset of the original properties. If you really need to deal such property sets, use HPSF's low-level access methods.

An application can call the isPure method to check whether a property set parsed by CustomProperties is still pure (i.e. unmodified) or whether one or more properties have been dropped.

This class is not thread-safe; concurrent access to instances of this class must be syncronized.

public CustomProperties()

Method Detail

put

public Object put(Object name,
         Object customProperty)
           throws ClassCastException

Puts a CustomProperty into this map. It is assumed that the CustomProperty already has a valid ID. Otherwise use put(CustomProperty).

Specified by:

put in interface Map

Overrides:

put in class HashMap

Throws:

ClassCastException

remove

public Object remove(String name)

Removes a custom property.

Parameters:

name - The name of the custom property to remove

Returns:

The removed property or null if the specified property was not found.

HashSet.remove(java.lang.Object)

put

public Object put(String name,
         String value)

Adds a named string property.

Parameters:

name - The property's name.

value - The property's value.

Returns:

the property that was stored under the specified name before, or null if there was no such property before.

put

public Object put(String name,
         Long value)

Adds a named long property.

Parameters:

name - The property's name.

value - The property's value.

Returns:

the property that was stored under the specified name before, or null if there was no such property before.

put

public Object put(String name,
         Double value)

Adds a named double property.

Parameters:

name - The property's name.

value - The property's value.

Returns:

the property that was stored under the specified name before, or null if there was no such property before.

put

public Object put(String name,
         Integer value)

Adds a named integer property.

Parameters:

name - The property's name.

value - The property's value.

Returns:

the property that was stored under the specified name before, or null if there was no such property before.

put

public Object put(String name,
         Boolean value)

Adds a named boolean property.

Parameters:

name - The property's name.

value - The property's value.

Returns:

the property that was stored under the specified name before, or null if there was no such property before.

get

public Object get(String name)

Gets a named value from the custom properties.

Parameters:

name - the name of the value to get

Returns:

the value or null if a value with the specified name is not found in the custom properties.

put

public Object put(String name,
         Date value)

Adds a named date property.

Parameters:

name - The property's name.

value - The property's value.

Returns:

the property that was stored under the specified name before, or null if there was no such property before.

setCodepage

public void setCodepage(int codepage)

Sets the codepage.

Parameters:

codepage - the codepage

getCodepage

public int getCodepage()

Gets the codepage.

Returns:

the codepage or -1 if the codepage is undefined.

isPure

public boolean isPure()

Tells whether this CustomProperties instance is pure or one or more properties of the underlying low-level property set has been dropped.

Returns:

true if the CustomProperties is pure, else false.

setPure

public void setPure(boolean isPure)

Sets the purity of the custom property set.

Parameters:

isPure - the purity
