Detailed Description

a container for holding hierarchical configuration data in memory.

A policy is a set of named parameters that can be used to configure the internal data and behavior of an object within an application. An important feature Policy objects is that the parameters can be loaded in from a file. Thus, it allows applications fine-grained control of objects even if much of the configuration parameters they provide are normally set to defaults and otherwise do not change.

The Policy interface allows an application to pull out parameter values by name. Typically, the application "knows" the names it needs from a Policy to configure itself–that is, these names and the use of their values are hard-coded into the application. The application simply calls one of the get methods to retrieve a typed value for the parameter. (Nevertheless, if necessary, the parameter names contained in a policy can be retrieved via the names() member function.)

Policy parameters values are restricted to a limited set of types to ensure simple, well-defined ASCII text serialization format. These types are In particular, a Policy parameter can be one of:

As implied by the inclusion of Policy as a value type, a Policy can be hierarchical (like a PropertySet). Values deep within the hierarchy can be retrieved via a hiearchical name. Such a name is made up of name fields delimited by dots (.) where each name field represents a level of the hierarchy. The first field represents the top level of the hierarchy. If a given name does not resolve to value, a NameNotFound exception is thrown. If one expects a different value type for a name than what is actually stored, (e.g. one calls getInt(name) for a parameter that is actually a string), a TypeError exception is thrown.

A hierarchical Policy allows an application to configure a whole hierarchy of objects, even if the object classes (and their associated policy parameters) were developed by different people. In particular, if an application that is configuring one of the objects it uses, it can either pull out the relevent values directly by their hierarchical names, or if that object supports configuration from a Policy, it can pull all of the values for the object by retrieving a Policy (via getPolicy(name) ) and passing it to the object.

It is important to note that parameter names relative the Policy that contains them. For example, suppose you have a parameter accessible via the name "foo.bar.zub". This implies that the name "foo.bar" will resolve to a Policy object. You can retrieve the "zub" parameter from that "sub-Policy" object by asking for "zub".

Loading a Policy File

One can read Policy data via the constructors that take a file name in some form as an input argument; however the prefered manner is via one of the createPolicy() functions. The latter is able to intelligently differentiate between simple Policy file and a Dictionary file. In either case, the formats supported would be restricted by default to those currently built into this package. Support for other formats can be plugged in using the PolicyFile and SupportFormats classes.

For more information about about Policy files, file formats, and dictionaries, see the package overview as well as the PolicyFile and Dictionary class descriptions.

Default Policy Data

When an object using a Policy fails to find a parameter it was expecting, it is a little inelegant to provide a default hard-coded in the object's implementation, by design. Instead it is recommended that defaults be loaded from another Policy. The intended way to do this is to load defaults via a DefaultPolicyFile (which can locate a policy file from any EUPS-setup installation directory) and to merge them into to the primary Policy instance via the mergeDefaults() function.

Version Notes

With version 3.1, support for the JSON format was dropped.

After version 3.2, Policy's internal implementation was changed to be a wrapper around PropertySet. Prior to this, it used its own internal data map. The API (which had been optimized for the old implementation), remained largely unchanged for the purposes of backward compatibility. The changes include (1) dropping support for providing default values to the get*() functions, (2) returning array values by value rather than reference, and (3) added functions for greater consistancy with PropertySet.

After 3.3.3, loading default data (including from Dictionarys) was improved. This included adding mergeDefaults()

lsst.pex::policy::Policy::Policy ( bool  validate,
const Dictionary &  dict,
const boost::filesystem::path &  repository = "" 
)

Create a default Policy from a Dictionary.

If the Dictionary references files containing dictionaries for sub-Policies, an attempt is made to open them and extract the default data, and if that attempt fails, an exception is thrown (probably an IoError or ParseError).

Parameters
validateif true, a shallow copy of the Dictionary will be held onto by this Policy and used to validate future updates.
dictthe Dictionary to load defaults from
repositorythe directory to look for dictionary files referenced in dict. The default is the current directory.

◆ Policy() [6/8]

lsst.pex::policy::Policy::Policy ( Policy pol,
bool  deep = false 
)

copy a Policy.

Parameters
polthe policy to copy
deepif true, do a deep copy. Otherwise, Policy data will be shared.

Add a value to an array of values with a given name.

If a value was previously set using the set() function, that previous value will be retained as the first value of the array.

If this policy has a

Dictionary

(see

), this operation will be checked before it is performed, and if it would create an invalid state, it will not succeed, and a

ValidationError

will be thrown. With the exception that the minimum number of values (in the case of an array) will not be checked, in case this is part of a sequence of

operations.

Note that

add(const string&, const string&)

and

add(const string&, const char *)

are equivalent.

Parameters
namethe name of the parameter. This can be a hierarchical name with fields delimited with "."
valuethe value–int, double, string or Policy–to associate with the name.
Exceptions
TypeErrorif the existing array of values is not of the requested type, or if this Policy is controlled by a Dictionary but the value type does not match the definition associated with the name.

create a Policy from a file.

The caller is responsible for deleting the returned value. This is the preferred way to obtain a Policy file if you don't care to know if the input file is an actual policy file or a policy dictionary. If it turns out to be a dictionary file, the defined defaults will be loaded into the return policy.

Parameters
inputthe input file or stream to load data from.
doIncludesif true, any references found to external Policy files will be resolved into sub-policy values. The files will be looked for in a directory relative the current directory.
validateif true and the input file is a policy dictionary, it will be given to the returned policy and used to validate future updates to the Policy.

use the values found in the given policy as default values for parameters not specified in this policy.

This function will iterate through the parameter names in the given policy, and if the name is not found in this policy, the value from the given one will be copied into this one. No attempt is made to match the number of values available per name.

Parameters
defaultPolthe policy to pull default values from. This may be a Dictionary; if so, the default values will drawn from the appropriate default keyword.
keepForValidationif true, and if defaultPol is a Dictionary, keep a reference to it for validation future updates to this Policy.
errsan exception to load errors into – only relevant if defaultPol is a Dictionary or if this Policy already has a dictionary to validate against; if a validation error is encountered, it will be added to errs if errs is non-null, and an exception will not be raised; however, if errs is null, an exception will be thrown if a validation error is encountered.

◆ setDictionary()

void lsst.pex::policy::Policy::setDictionary ( const Dictionary &  dict)

Update this policy's dictionary that it uses to validate itself.

Note that this will not trigger validation – you will need to call

afterwards.

◆ setValue() [1/4]

const bool &  value 
)

◆ setValue() [2/4]

)

◆ setValue() [3/4]

template<>
void lsst.pex::policy::Policy::setValue ( const std::string name,
const int &  value 
)

◆ setValue() [4/4]

template<typename T >
void lsst.pex::policy::Policy::setValue ( const std::string name,
const T &  value 
)

Set a value with the given name.

Any previous value set with the same name will be overwritten. In particular, if the property previously pointed to an array of values, all those values will be forgotten.

If this policy has a

Dictionary

(see

), this operation will be checked before it is performed, and if it would create an invalid state, it will not succeed, and a

ValidationError

will be thrown. With the exception that the minimum number of values (in the case of an array) will not be checked, in case this will be followed by

operations.

Note that

set(const string&, const string&)

and

set(const string&, const char *)

are equivalent.

Parameters
namethe name of the parameter. This can be a hierarchical name with fields delimited with "."
valuethe value–int, double, string or Policy–to associate with the name.
Exceptions
TypeErrorif this Policy is controlled by a Dictionary but the value type does not match the definition associated with the name.

Definition at line 1134 of file Policy.h.

1134  {
1135  throw LSST_EXCEPT(TypeError, name, "not implemented for this type");
1136 }

◆ str()

virtual std::string lsst.pex::policy::Policy::str ( const std::string name,
const std::string indent = "" 
) const
virtual

return a string representation of the value given by a name.

The string "<null>" is printed if the name does not exist.

Parameters
namethe name of the parameter to string-ify
indenta string to prepend each line with. If the string includes embedded newline characters, each line should be preceded by this indent string.

◆ toString()

std::string lsst.pex::policy::Policy::toString ( ) const

convert the entire contents of this policy to a string.

This is mainly intended for debugging purposes.

◆ typeOf()

const std::type_info & lsst.pex::policy::Policy::typeOf ( const std::string name) const
inline

return the type information for the underlying type associated with a given name.

This is equivalent to getTypeInfo() and is provided for consistency with PropertySet.

Definition at line 951 of file Policy.h.

951 { return getTypeInfo(name); }

◆ validate()

void lsst.pex::policy::Policy::validate ( ValidationError *  errs = 0) const

Validate this policy, using its stored dictionary.

If

is false, this will throw a LogicError.

If validation errors are found and

err

is null, a ValidationError will be thrown.

Parameters
errsif non-null, any validation errors will be stored here instead of being thrown.

◆ valueCount()

size_t lsst.pex::policy::Policy::valueCount ( const std::string name) const
inline

return the number of values currently associated with a given name

Parameters
namethe (possibly) hierarchical name of the property of interest.

Definition at line 889 of file Policy.h.

889 { return _data->valueCount(name); }

◆ typeName

const char* const lsst.pex::policy::Policy::typeName[]
static

c-string forms for the supported value types.

The ValueType enum values can be used a indexes into the array to return the name of the corresping type.
