Interface HttpParams

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultHttpParams, HostParams, HttpClientParams, HttpConnectionManagerParams, HttpConnectionParams, HttpMethodParams

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 Detail

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(HttpParams)

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:

getDefaults()

getParameter

java.lang.Object getParameter(java.lang.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(String, Object)

setParameter

void setParameter(java.lang.String name,
                java.lang.Object value)

Assigns the value to the parameter with the given name

Parameters:

name - parameter name

value - parameter value

getLongParameter

long getLongParameter(java.lang.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(String, long)

setLongParameter

void setLongParameter(java.lang.String name,
                    long value)

Assigns a Long to the parameter with the given name

Parameters:

name - parameter name

value - parameter value

getIntParameter

int getIntParameter(java.lang.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(String, int)

setIntParameter

void setIntParameter(java.lang.String name,
                   int value)

Assigns an Integer to the parameter with the given name

Parameters:

name - parameter name

value - parameter value

getDoubleParameter

double getDoubleParameter(java.lang.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(String, double)

setDoubleParameter

void setDoubleParameter(java.lang.String name,
                      double value)

Assigns a Double to the parameter with the given name

Parameters:

name - parameter name

value - parameter value

getBooleanParameter

boolean getBooleanParameter(java.lang.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(String, boolean)

setBooleanParameter

void setBooleanParameter(java.lang.String name,

isParameterSetLocally

boolean isParameterSetLocally(java.lang.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(java.lang.String name)

Returns true if the parameter is set and is true, false otherwise.
