Class StrLookup<V>

  • Type Parameters:
    V - the type of the values supported by the lookup
    All Implemented Interfaces:
    StringLookup
    @Deprecated
public abstract class StrLookup<V>
extends Object
implements StringLookup
    Deprecated.
    Deprecated as of 1.3, use StringLookupFactory instead. This class will be removed in 2.0.
    Lookup a String key to a String value.

    This class represents the simplest form of a string to string map. It has a benefit over a map in that it can create the result on demand based on the key.

    This class comes complete with various factory methods. If these do not suffice, you can subclass and implement your own matcher.

    For example, it would be possible to implement a lookup that used the key as a primary key, and looked up the value on demand from the database

    Since:
    1.0

        public static StrLookup<String> systemPropertiesLookup()
        Deprecated.
        Returns a new lookup which uses a copy of the current System properties.

        If a null key is used, this lookup will throw a NullPointerException.

        Returns:
        a lookup using system properties, not null

      • mapLookup

        public static <V> StrLookup<V> mapLookup​(Map<String,​V> map)
        Deprecated.
        Returns a lookup which looks up values using a map.

        If the map is null, then null will be returned from every lookup. The map result object is converted to a string using toString().

        Type Parameters:
        V - the type of the values supported by the lookup
        Parameters:
        map - the map of keys to values, may be null
        Returns:

      • resourceBundleLookup

        public static StrLookup<String> resourceBundleLookup​(ResourceBundle resourceBundle)
        Deprecated.
        Returns a lookup which looks up values using a ResourceBundle.

        If the ResourceBundle is null, then null will be returned from every lookup. The map result object is converted to a string using toString().

        Parameters:
        resourceBundle - the map of keys to values, may be null
        Returns:
        a lookup using the map, not null
