NAME

Db::Mediasurface::ReadConfig - reads, parses, and stores configuration from a Mediasurface ms.properties file.

VERSION

This document refers to version 0.01 of DB::Mediasurface::ReadConfig, released August 3, 2001.

SYNOPSIS

    use Db::Mediasurface::ReadConfig;

my $path = '/opt/ms/3.0.2/etc/ms.properties';

my $config = Db::Mediasurface::ReadConfig->new( path=>$path );

print('oracle user is '.$config->get_username.``\n'');

DESCRIPTION

Overview

When supplied with a path to a Mediasurface configuration file (usually called ms.properties), this module loads the configuration details into an object, which can be interrogated at a later time.

Constructor

$config = Db::Mediasurface::ReadConfig->new( path=>$path );
This class method constructs a new configuration object by reading the file at location $path. This module assumes that the configuration file is constructed in the following manner...

Each key/value pair occurs on a single line, and the key and value are separated by an equals sign (=) and (optionally) white space. Any text on a line is ignored which follows a hash symbol (#).

Methods

$value = $config->get_SOME_CONFIG_KEY;
Returns the value associated with a particular configuration key. If the key contained a full-stop in the config file, this is replaced by an underscore. For example, to get the value associated with jdbc.driver in the config file, use $config->get_jdbc_driver

$config->set_SOME_CONFIG_KEY($value);
Sets the value of a given key. Does not write the value back to the config file - no permanent damage is done ;)
