        Turns on Method Injection.

      • NO_CACHE

        public static final java.util.Properties NO_CACHE
        Turns off Caching of component instances. (Often referred to in other circles as singleton).

      • SYNCHRONIZE

        public static final java.util.Properties SYNCHRONIZE
        Turns on synchronized access to the component instance. (Under JDK 1.5 conditions, it will be better to use LOCK instead.

      • immutable

        public static java.util.Properties immutable​(java.lang.String name,
                                             java.lang.String value)
        Transforms a single name value pair unto a read only Properties instance.

        Example Usage:

                        Properties readOnly = immutable("oneKey","oneValue"};
                assert readOnly.getProperty("oneKey") != null);
        Parameters:
        name - the property key.
        value - the property value.
        Returns:
        Read Only properties instance.
