Method Detail

getParameter

public Object getParameter(String parameter)

Returns the value of the parameter

Parameters:

parameter - fully qualified name of the parameter

Returns:

the value of the parameter

getParameter

public abstract Object getParameter(String parameter,
                                    boolean warning,
                                    boolean useDefault)

DO NOT CALL THIS UNLESS YOU ARE IN THE SERVER INTERNALS. BaseService and Admin UI calls with warnings and useDefault disabled so it test and do defaulting quietly. Be careful with useDefault !!! If you call once with useDefault=true then the next calls for the same parameter will return the default value even if useDefault is later false. This is because the value is cached once for all.

getUncachedParameter

public abstract Object getUncachedParameter(String parameter,
                                            boolean warning,
                                            boolean useDefault)
