Class ConfigWriter

java.lang.Object

edu.harvard.hul.ois.jhove.ConfigWriter

public class ConfigWriter
extends Object

Class to write out configuration information to the configuration file. To minimize the chance of getting into a bad state, it writes to a temporary file, then replaces the old config file with that file, rather than directly overwriting the existing file.

Method Detail

writeFile

public void writeFile(List<ModuleInfo> modules,
                      List<String[]> handlers,
                      File homeDir,
                      File tempDir,
                      String encoding,
                      int bufferSize)
               throws IOException

Writes out the content of the file to the temporary file, then deletes the existing configuration file (as specified by the constructor parameter) and renames the temporary file to the configuration file. If the temporary file can't be written, or the configuration file can't be replaced, a warning dialog is put up and the configuration file remains unchanged.

Throws:

IOException
