public abstract class MondrianPropertiesBase
extends org.eigenbase.util.property.TriggerableProperties

MondrianProperties contains the properties which determine the behavior of a mondrian instance.

There is a method for property valid in a mondrian.properties file. Although it is possible to retrieve properties using the inherited Properties.getProperty(String) method, we recommend that you use methods in this class.

Note to developers

If you add a property, you must:

• Add a property definition to MondrianProperties.xml.
• Re-generate MondrianProperties.java using PropertyUtil.
• Modify the default mondrian.properties file checked into source control, with a description of the property and its default value.
• Modify the Configuration Specification.

Similarly if you update or delete a property.
