Method Detail

registerConfiguration

public void registerConfiguration(java.lang.String defaultExt)

Description copied from interface: TemplateEngineService

Initializes file extension associations and registers with the template service.

Specified by:

registerConfiguration in interface TemplateEngineService

Parameters:

defaultExt - The default file extension association to use in case of properties file misconfiguration.

See Also:

TemplateEngineService.registerConfiguration(java.lang.String)

getTemplateEngineServiceConfiguration

public java.util.Hashtable getTemplateEngineServiceConfiguration()

Description copied from interface: TemplateEngineService

Return the configuration of the template engine in the form of a Hashtable.

Specified by:

getTemplateEngineServiceConfiguration in interface TemplateEngineService

See Also:

TemplateEngineService.getTemplateEngineServiceConfiguration()

getAssociatedFileExtensions

public java.lang.String[] getAssociatedFileExtensions()

Description copied from interface: TemplateEngineService

Supplies the file extension to key this engine in TemplateService's registry with.

Specified by:

getAssociatedFileExtensions in interface TemplateEngineService

See Also:

TemplateEngineService.getAssociatedFileExtensions()

initConfiguration

protected void initConfiguration(java.lang.String defaultExt)

Initialize the Template Engine Service. Note engine file extension associations. First attempts to pull a list of custom extensions from the property file value keyed by template.extension. If none are defined, uses the value keyed by template.default.extension, defaulting to the emergency value supplied by defaultExt.

Parameters:

defaultExt - The default used when the default defined in the properties file is missing or misconfigured.

templateExists

public abstract boolean templateExists(java.lang.String template)

Description copied from interface: TemplateEngineService

Use the specific template engine to determine whether a given template exists. This allows Turbine the TemplateService to delegate the search for a template to the template engine being used for the view. This gives us the advantage of fully utilizing the capabilities of template engine with respect to retrieving templates from arbitrary sources.

Specified by:

templateExists in interface TemplateEngineService

Parameters:

template - The name of the template to check the existance of.

Returns:

Whether the specified template exists.

TemplateEngineService.templateExists(java.lang.String)
