Class PropertiesMap

java.lang.Object
org.onehippo.forge.properties.bean.PropertiesMap
All Implemented Interfaces:
Map<String,String>
public class PropertiesMap extends Object implements Map<String,String>
Bean representing a properties document that holds a map of name/value pairs. In an HST Component, a bean like this can be created with a PropertiesBean object as argument and subsequently set on the request for access in jsp. Example 1: 

    // get a document named "properties" at same level as current bean
    Properties propertiesDoc = this.getContentBean(request).getParentBean().getBean("properties", Properties.class);
    
    if (propertiesDoc != null) {
        request.setAttribute("properties", new PropertiesMap(new PropertiesBean(propertiesDoc)));
    }
Example 2: 

    There is also a Spring instantiated PropertiesManager present with which
    beans can be gotten from content:

    ComponentManager componentManager = HstServices.getComponentManager();;
    this.propertiesManager = componentManager.getComponent(PropertiesManager.class.getName());
    
    Map<String, String> properties = new PropertiesMap(this.propertiesManager.getPropertiesBean(this.getSiteContentBaseBean(request)));
Example 3: 

    There is also a static utility class that creates PropertiesMaps.

    Map<String, String> properties = PropertiesUtil.toMap(this.propertiesManager.getPropertiesBean(this.getSiteContentBaseBean(request)));
Because it is a map, access in jsp can be done using direct expression language notation like "labels['label.header']"
