Interface Summary

Interface	Description
FileBased	Definition of an interface to be implemented by objects which know how to read and write themselves from or to a character stream.
FileHandlerListener	A listener interface for receiving notifications about updates of a FileHandler.
FileLocationStrategy	An interface allowing applications to customize the process of locating a file.
FileLocatorAware	Definition of an interface to be implemented by FileBased objects which need access to the current FileLocator.
FileOptionsProvider	Some FileSystems allow options to be passed on File operations.
InputStreamSupport	Definition of an interface to be implemented by objects which support reading from an input stream.

Class Summary

Class	Description
AbsoluteNameLocationStrategy	A specialized implementation of FileLocationStrategy which checks whether the provided file name is already an absolute file name.
BasePathLocationStrategy	A specialized implementation of FileLocationStrategy which tries to construct a file path from the locator's base path and file name.
ClasspathLocationStrategy	A specialized FileLocationStrategy implementation which searches for files on the class path.
CombinedLocationStrategy	A specialized implementation of a FileLocationStrategy which encapsulates an arbitrary number of FileLocationStrategy objects.
ConfigurationLogger	A class providing basic logging capabilities.
DefaultFileSystem	FileSystem that uses java.io.File or HttpClient
FileHandler	A class that manages persistence of an associated FileBased object.
FileHandlerListenerAdapter	An adapter class simplifying the implementation of custom FileHandlerListener classes.
FileLocator	A class describing the location of a file.
FileLocator.FileLocatorBuilder	A typical builder implementation for creating FileLocator objects.
FileLocatorUtils	A utility class providing helper methods related to locating files.
FileSystem	Abstract layer to allow various types of file systems.
FileSystemLocationStrategy	A specialized implementation of FileLocationStrategy which uses the passed in FileSystem to locate a file.
HomeDirectoryLocationStrategy	A specialized implementation of FileLocationStrategy which searches for files in the user's home directory or another special configurable directory.
ProvidedURLLocationStrategy	A specialized implementation of FileLocationStrategy which checks whether a passed in FileLocator already has a defined URL.
VerifiableOutputStream	OutputStream that can be checked for errors after it is written to.
VFSFileSystem	FileSystem that uses Commons VFS

Package org.apache.commons.configuration2.io Description

A package with classes related to I/O operations.

Most of the interfaces and classes contained in this package are related to file-based configurations. For instance, the basic interfaces for reading and writing data or for managing a reference to a file are defined here. This package also contains various strategy classes for locating files. They can be used to construct a location strategy for the configuration sources of a specific application.
