---

clear

public void clear()

Enabled: Clears this provider so that it no longer contains the properties used to look up facilities implemented by the provider.

First, if there is a security manager, its checkSecurityAccess method is called with the string "clearProviderProperties."+name (where name is the provider name) to see if it's ok to clear this provider. If the default implementation of checkSecurityAccess is used (that is, that method is not overriden), then this results in a call to the security manager's checkPermission method with a SecurityPermission("clearProviderProperties."+name) permission.

Specified by:

clear in interface Map

Overrides:

clear in class Hashtable

Throws:

SecurityException - if a security manager exists and its java.lang.SecurityManager#checkSecurityAccess method denies access to clear this provider

Since:

1.2

---

load

public void load(InputStream inStream)
 throws IOException

Enabled: Reads a property list (key and element pairs) from the input stream.

Overrides:

load in class Properties

Parameters:

inStream - the input stream.

IOException

Enabled: Copies all of the mappings from the specified Map to this provider. These mappings will replace any properties that this provider had for any of the keys currently in the specified Map.

Specified by:

putAll in interface Map

Overrides:

putAll in class Hashtable

Parameters:

t - Mappings to be stored in this map.

Since:

1.2

---

putAllInternal

private void putAllInternal(Map t)

Copies all of the mappings from the specified Map to this provider. Internal method to be called AFTER the security check has been performed.

---

entrySet

public Set entrySet()

Enabled: Returns an unmodifiable Set view of the property entries contained in this Provider.

Specified by:

entrySet in interface Map

Overrides:

entrySet in class Hashtable

Returns:

put

public Object put(Object key,
 Object value)

Enabled: Sets the key property to have the specified value.

First, if there is a security manager, its checkSecurityAccess method is called with the string "putProviderProperty."+name, where name is the provider name, to see if it's ok to set this provider's property values. If the default implementation of checkSecurityAccess is used (that is, that method is not overriden), then this results in a call to the security manager's checkPermission method with a SecurityPermission("putProviderProperty."+name) permission.

Specified by:

put in interface Map

Overrides:

put in class Hashtable

Parameters:

key - the property key.

value - the property value.

Returns:

the previous value of the specified property (key), or null if it did not have one.

Throws:

SecurityException - if a security manager exists and its java.lang.SecurityManager#checkSecurityAccess method denies access to set property values.

remove

public Object remove(Object key)

Enabled: Removes the key property (and its corresponding value).

First, if there is a security manager, its checkSecurityAccess method is called with the string ""removeProviderProperty."+name, where name is the provider name, to see if it's ok to remove this provider's properties. If the default implementation of checkSecurityAccess is used (that is, that method is not overriden), then this results in a call to the security manager's checkPermission method with a SecurityPermission("removeProviderProperty."+name) permission.

Specified by:

remove in interface Map

Overrides:

remove in class Hashtable

Parameters:

key - the key for the property to be removed.

Returns:
