public interface HttpParams
This interface represents a collection of HTTP protocol parameters. Protocol parameters may be linked together to form a hierarchy. If a particular parameter value has not been explicitly defined in the collection itself, its value will be drawn from the parent collection of parameters.

  • Method Details

    • getDefaults

      HttpParams getDefaults()
      Returns the parent collection that this collection will defer to for a default value if a particular parameter is not explicitly set in the collection itself
      Returns:
      the parent collection to defer to, if a particular parameter is not explictly set in the collection itself.
      See Also:
    • setDefaults

      void setDefaults(HttpParams params)
      Assigns the parent collection that this collection will defer to for a default value if a particular parameter is not explicitly set in the collection itself
      Parameters:
      params - the parent collection to defer to, if a particular parameter is not explictly set in the collection itself.
      See Also:
    • getParameter

      Object getParameter(String name)
      Returns a parameter value with the given name. If the parameter is not explicitly defined in this collection, its value will be drawn from a higer level collection at which this parameter is defined. If the parameter is not explicitly set anywhere up the hierarchy, null value is returned.
      Parameters:
      name - the parent name.
      Returns:
      an object that represents the value of the parameter.
      See Also:
    • setParameter

      void setParameter(String name, Object value)
      Assigns the value to the parameter with the given name
      Parameters:
      name - parameter name
      value - parameter value
    • getLongParameter

      long getLongParameter(String name, long defaultValue)
      Returns a Long parameter value with the given name. If the parameter is not explicitly defined in this collection, its value will be drawn from a higer level collection at which this parameter is defined. If the parameter is not explicitly set anywhere up the hierarchy, the default value is returned.
      Parameters:
      name - the parent name.
      defaultValue - the default value.
      Returns:
      a Long that represents the value of the parameter.
      See Also:
    • setLongParameter

      void setLongParameter(String name, long value)
      Assigns a Long to the parameter with the given name
      Parameters:
      name - parameter name
      value - parameter value
    • getIntParameter

      int getIntParameter(String name, int defaultValue)
      Returns an Integer parameter value with the given name. If the parameter is not explicitly defined in this collection, its value will be drawn from a higer level collection at which this parameter is defined. If the parameter is not explicitly set anywhere up the hierarchy, the default value is returned.
      Parameters:
      name - the parent name.
      defaultValue - the default value.
      Returns:
      a Integer that represents the value of the parameter.
      See Also:
    • setIntParameter

      void setIntParameter(String name, int value)
      Assigns an Integer to the parameter with the given name
      Parameters:
      name - parameter name
      value - parameter value
    • getDoubleParameter

      double getDoubleParameter(String name, double defaultValue)
      Returns a Double parameter value with the given name. If the parameter is not explicitly defined in this collection, its value will be drawn from a higer level collection at which this parameter is defined. If the parameter is not explicitly set anywhere up the hierarchy, the default value is returned.
      Parameters:
      name - the parent name.
      defaultValue - the default value.
      Returns:
      a Double that represents the value of the parameter.
      See Also:
    • setDoubleParameter

      void setDoubleParameter(String name, double value)
      Assigns a Double to the parameter with the given name
      Parameters:
      name - parameter name
      value - parameter value
    • getBooleanParameter

      boolean getBooleanParameter(String name, boolean defaultValue)
      Returns a Boolean parameter value with the given name. If the parameter is not explicitly defined in this collection, its value will be drawn from a higer level collection at which this parameter is defined. If the parameter is not explicitly set anywhere up the hierarchy, the default value is returned.
      Parameters:
      name - the parent name.
      defaultValue - the default value.
      Returns:
      a Boolean that represents the value of the parameter.
      See Also:
    • setBooleanParameter

      void setBooleanParameter(String name, boolean value)
      Assigns a Boolean to the parameter with the given name
      Parameters:
      name - parameter name
      value - parameter value
    • isParameterSet

      boolean isParameterSet(String name)
      Returns true if the parameter is set at any level, false otherwise.
      Parameters:
      name - parameter name
      Returns:
      true if the parameter is set at any level, false otherwise.
    • isParameterSetLocally

      boolean isParameterSetLocally(String name)
      Returns true if the parameter is set locally, false otherwise.
      Parameters:
      name - parameter name
      Returns:
      true if the parameter is set locally, false otherwise.
    • isParameterTrue

      boolean isParameterTrue(String name)
      Returns true if the parameter is set and is true, false otherwise.
      Parameters:
      name - parameter name
      Returns:
      true if the parameter is set and is true, false otherwise.
    • isParameterFalse

      boolean isParameterFalse(String name)
      Returns true if the parameter is either not set or is false, false otherwise.
      Parameters:
      name - parameter name
      Returns:
      true if the parameter is either not set or is false, false otherwise.
