ph-commons

Java 1.8+ Library with tons of utility classes required in most of ph-* projects.

Version 6.x contains major changes and more or less all other projects were released to reflect the changes of 6.x. Version 7 does not exist. Version 8.x was re-designed to best work with JDK 8. So please ensure to not mix 5.x, 6.x and 8x. versions of ph-commons!

This project was the following modules:

  • ph-bc - BouncyCastle support library (since 9.1.2)
  • ph-cli - library with commandline parameter definition support; loosely based on commons-cli
  • ph-collection - library with extended collection related classes
  • ph-commons - the most common base library stuff
  • ph-config - a generic configuration solution supporting different sources of configuration (since 9.4.0)
  • ph-dao - file based DAO library with WAL support
  • ph-datetime - extension library for handling Java date and time special cases
  • ph-graph - generic graph library with directed and undirected graphs
  • ph-jaxb - the JAXB utility classes building upon ph-commons and ph-xml
  • ph-jaxb-adapter - JAXB utility classes required by created code, building only on ph-commons (since 10.0.0)
  • ph-json - a generic simple JSON reader, visitor and writer
  • ph-less-commons - previously contained in ph-commons not really used but I was afraid to dump it :)
  • ph-matrix - a simple library for handling matrix data structures and operations
  • ph-scopes - based library for non-web related scope handling
  • ph-security - security related topics like key store handling, message digests etc
  • ph-settings - a small library for handling configuration files in an easy way
  • ph-tree - generic tree structures and tree singleton base classes
  • ph-xml - everything to read and write XML, including "MicroDOM" my personal minimum XML representation shipping with its own serializer.

ph-config

A multi-source configuration manager, that can use system properties, environment variables, resources and application specific values to work with. See ConfigFactory.getDefaultConfig () for the starting point. By default the following configurations sources are scanned in this order:

  1. System properties - priority 400
  2. Environment variables - priority 300
  3. if the system property config.resource or the environment variable CONFIG_RESOURCE is present, and it points to an existing classpath resource, the first one matching is used - priority 200 or determined by the system property config.resource.priority or the environment variable CONFIG_RESOURCE_PRIORITY. Note: the file type is determined by the extension and defaults to "properties".
  4. if the system property config.resources (note the trailing "s") or the environment variable CONFIG_RESOURCES is present, and it points to an existing classpath resource, all matching ones are used - priority 200 or determined by the system property config.resources.priority (also note the trailing "s") or the environment variable CONFIG_RESOURCES_PRIORITY. Note: the file type is determined by the extension and defaults to "properties".
  5. if the system property config.file or the environment variable CONFIG_FILE is present, and it points to an existing file, it is used - priority 200 or determined by the system property config.file.priority or the environment variable CONFIG_FILE_PRIORITY. Note: the file type is determined by the extension and defaults to "properties".
  6. if the system property config.url or the environment variable CONFIG_URL is present, and it points to an existing URL, it is used - priority 200 or determined by the system property config.url.priority or the environment variable CONFIG_URL_PRIORITY. Note: the file type is determined by the extension and defaults to "properties".
  7. a JSON file called private-application.json - this is mainly to have an easy way to override settings - priority 195.
  8. a properties file called private-application.properties - this is mainly to have an easy way to override settings - priority 190.
  9. all JSON files called application.json that are in the classpath - priority 185.
  10. all properties files called application.properties that are in the classpath - priority 180.
  11. all properties files called reference.properties that are in the classpath - priority 1.
  • Note: the default configuration does NOT contain any custom configuration files.
  • Note: JSON and Properties files are expected to be UTF-8 encoded

JSON format

The JSON configuration file must be a single large object so it must start with "{" and end with "}". The JSON syntax is a bit relaxed and allows for unquoted names but other than that it is regular JSON.
