    • nextKey

      public String nextKey()
      Returns the next key part of this configuration key. This is a short form of nextKey(false).
      Returns:
      the next key part

    • nextKey

      public String nextKey(boolean decorated)
      Returns the next key part of this configuration key. The boolean parameter indicates wheter a decorated key should be returned. This affects only attribute keys: if the parameter is false, the attribute markers are stripped from the key; if it is true, they remain.
      Parameters:
      decorated - a flag if the decorated key is to be returned
      Returns:
      the next key part

    • hasNext

      public boolean hasNext()
      Checks if there is a next element.
      Specified by:
      hasNext in interface Iterator<Object>
      Returns:
      a flag if there is a next element

    • next

      public Object next()
      Returns the next object in the iteration.
      Specified by:
      next in interface Iterator<Object>
      Returns:
      the next object

    • remove

      public void remove()
      Removes the current object in the iteration. This method is not supported by this iterator type, so an exception is thrown.
      Specified by:
      remove in interface Iterator<Object>

    • currentKey

      public String currentKey()
      Returns the current key of the iteration (without skipping to the next element). This is the same key the previous next() call had returned. (Short form of currentKey(false).
      Returns:
      the current key

    • currentKey

      public String currentKey(boolean decorated)
      Returns the current key of the iteration (without skipping to the next element). The boolean parameter indicates wheter a decorated key should be returned. This affects only attribute keys: if the parameter is false, the attribute markers are stripped from the key; if it is true, they remain.
      Parameters:
      decorated - a flag if the decorated key is to be returned
      Returns:
      the current key

    • isAttribute

      public boolean isAttribute()
      Returns a flag if the current key is an attribute. This method can be called after next().
      Returns:
      a flag if the current key is an attribute

    • isPropertyKey

      public boolean isPropertyKey()
      Returns a flag whether the current key refers to a property (i.e. is no special attribute key). Usually this method will return the opposite of isAttribute(), but if the delimiters for normal properties and attributes are set to the same string, it is possible that both methods return true.
      Returns:
      a flag if the current key is a property key
      See Also:

    • getIndex

      public int getIndex()
      Returns the index value of the current key. If the current key does not have an index, return value is -1. This method can be called after next().
      Returns:
      the index value of the current key

    • hasIndex

      public boolean hasIndex()
      Returns a flag if the current key has an associated index. This method can be called after next().
      Returns:
      a flag if the current key has an index

    • clone

      public Object clone()
      Creates a clone of this object.
      Overrides:
      clone in class Object
      Returns:
      a clone of this object
