String |
lookup(LogEvent event,
String key)
Looks up a String key to a String value possibly using the current LogEvent.

String |
lookup(String key)
Looks up a String key to a String value using the map.

static void |
setMainArguments(String... args)
An application's
public static main(String[]) method calls this method to make its main arguments
available for lookup with the prefix main . |
public static void setMainArguments(String... args)
public static main(String[])
method calls this method to make its main arguments
available for lookup with the prefix main
.
The map provides two kinds of access: First by index, starting at "0"
, "1"
and so on. For
example, the command line --file path/file.txt -x 2
can be accessed from a configuration file with:
"main:0"
= "--file"
"main:1"
= "path/file.txt"
"main:2"
= "-x"
"main:3"
= "2"
Second using the argument at position n as the key to access the value at n+1.
"main:--file"
= "path/file.txt"
"main:-x"
= "2"

StrLookup
The internal implementation may use any mechanism to return the value. The simplest implementation is to use a Map. However, virtually any implementation is possible.
For example, it would be possible to implement a lookup that used the key as a primary key, and looked up the value on demand from the database Or, a numeric based implementation could be created that treats the key as an integer, increments the value and return the result as a string - converting 1 to 2, 15 to 16 etc.
This method always returns a String, regardless of the underlying data, by converting it as necessary. For example:
Map<String, Object> map = new HashMap<String, Object>(); map.put("number", new Integer(2)); assertEquals("2", StrLookup.mapLookup(map).lookup("number"));
