Direct Known Subclasses:

FilePMConfiguration

public abstract class PMConfiguration
extends java.lang.Object

PERMIS Management configuration class.

an instance of this class will encapsulate the entire configuration that is held external to a running instance of the PERMIS management (PManagement class). i.e. held in a file.

load () is the method that reads in the configuration form a file, then overrides any properties passed in via the command line arguments.

there are two main member variables:

• properties
• agentNumberList

properties contains all the configuration, and agentNumberList is a list of PERMIS agents.

there is a load () and a store () method used for reading in and writing out all configuration properties from and to the configuration file.

agentNumberIterator () is used to get the PERMIS agent list, and there are a multiple of getter access methods used to get the rest of the configuration.
