Method Detail

addParameters

public void addParameters(Series<Parameter> parameters)

Adds the parameters into a given series.

Parameters:

parameters - The target parameter series.

read

public Form read()
          throws IOException

Reads all the parameters.

Returns:

The form read.

Throws:

IOException - If the parameters could not be read.

readFirstParameter

public Parameter readFirstParameter(String name)
                             throws IOException

Reads the first parameter with the given name.

Parameters:

name - The parameter name to match.

Returns:

The parameter value.

Throws:

IOException

readNextParameter

public Parameter readNextParameter()
                            throws IOException

Reads the next parameter available or null.

Returns:

The next parameter available or null.

Throws:

IOException - If the next parameter could not be read.

readParameter

public Object readParameter(String name)
                     throws IOException

Reads the parameters with the given name. If multiple values are found, a list is returned created.

Parameters:

name - The parameter name to match.

Returns:

The parameter value or list of values.

Throws:

IOException - If the parameters could not be read.

readParameters

public void readParameters(Map<String,Object> parameters)
                    throws IOException

Reads the parameters whose name is a key in the given map. If a matching parameter is found, its value is put in the map. If multiple values are found, a list is created and set in the map.

Parameters:

parameters - The parameters map controlling the reading.

Throws:

IOException - If the parameters could not be read.
