Class CustomProperties

java.lang.Object

java.util.AbstractMap<K,V>

java.util.HashMap

loci.poi.hpsf.CustomProperties

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable, java.util.Map

public class CustomProperties
extends java.util.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.

Method Detail

put

public java.lang.Object put(java.lang.Object name,
                   java.lang.Object customProperty)
                     throws java.lang.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 java.util.Map

Overrides:

put in class java.util.HashMap

Throws:

java.lang.ClassCastException

remove

public java.lang.Object remove(java.lang.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 java.lang.Object put(java.lang.String name,
                   java.lang.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 java.lang.Object put(java.lang.String name,
                   java.lang.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 java.lang.Object put(java.lang.String name,
                   java.lang.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 java.lang.Object put(java.lang.String name,
                   java.lang.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 java.lang.Object put(java.lang.String name,
                   java.lang.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 java.lang.Object get(java.lang.String name)

Gets a named value from the custom properties.

Parameters:
