getKP

public ConfObject[] getKP()

Returns an array of ConfTag and ConfKey objects which represents the path in reverted order.

This method requires that the path is absolute and that the schema prefix for the root element is defined, if not a ConfException is thrown.

The ConfKey is composed of the proper ConfValue types which are determined by the loaded schema. However, if this the schema information is not available, and the type therefore cannot be determined the key elements are defaulted to ConfBinary.

Overrides:

getKP in class InstancePath

Returns:

reverted array representation of this ConfPath

Throws:

ConfException - If schema information is not loaded, the path is not valid or the parsed path has no namespace information.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Description copied from class: InstancePath

Returns a hash code value for the path. This method is supported for the benefit of hash tables such as those provided by java.util.Hashtable. The hash code is calculated from its component of ConfTag and ConfKey.

Overrides:

hashCode in class InstancePath

Returns:

a hash code value for this object.

toKeyPathString

public String toKeyPathString()

return this path as a keypath string.

Returns:

keypath string representation
