<h2 id="_apache_tamaya_quickstart">Apache Tamaya: Quickstart</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The fastest way to start with Tamaya is just using the <em>Core</em> implementation, implementing the <strong>Config JSR API</strong> in a minimalistic way. For that add the following Maven dependency to your project:</p>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_adding_the_tamaya_dependency">Adding the Tamaya Dependency</h3>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre class="prettyprint highlight"><code class="language-xml" data-lang="xml">&lt;dependency&gt;
&lt;groupId&gt;org.apache.tamaya&lt;/groupId&gt;
&lt;artifactId&gt;tamaya-core&lt;/artifactId&gt;
&lt;version&gt;0.4-incubating-SNAPSHOT&lt;/version&gt;
&lt;/dependency&gt;</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_start_coding">Start Coding</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>In your Java code you can directly access configuration from the API. In most cases it is recommended to provide the default values when accessing the configuration:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre class="prettyprint highlight"><code class="language-java" data-lang="java">Configuration config = ConfigProvider.getConfig();
String aTextValue = config.getOptionalValue("my.value.key", String.class).orElse("N/A");
int aNumericValue = config.getOptionalValue("my.numValueKey", Integer.class).orElse(15 /* default */);
BigDecimal bdValue = config.getOptionalValue("my.BD.value", BigDecimal.class).orElse(BigDecimal.valueOf(120));</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_add_define_your_configuration_data">Add/define your configuration data</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>As seen you can immedeatly start working with your configuration backend, without adding any kind of default configuration. Nevertheless the <em>core</em> implementation also comes with a <em>default</em> mechanism, where you can store your configuration as .properties in your classpath:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre class="prettyprint highlight"><code>META-INF/javaconfig.properties</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Additionally also system properties are taken into account, hereby overriding the <em>default</em> properties. Overall Tamaya by default defines the following configuration model per default (most significant first):</p>
</div>
<div class="olist arabic">
<ol class="arabic">
<li> <p>Environment Properties</p> </li>
<li> <p>System Properties</p> </li>
<li> <p><code>META-INF/javaconfig.properties</code></p> </li>
</ol>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect1">
<h2 id="_advanced_topics">Advanced Topics</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_multiple_configuration_files">Multiple configuration files</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>By default you can provide multiple <code>javaconfig.properties</code> files, e.g. as part of multiple jars loaded into your system. The system creates one <code>ConfigSource</code> for each file found on the classpath. All <code>ConfigSource</code> instances created are ordered by their precedence.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>By default the precendence of a ConfigSource is evaluated based on an <em>ordinal</em> value calculated as follows:</p>
</div>
<div class="olist arabic">
<ol class="arabic">
<li> <p>the systems checks for a <code>config.ordinal</code> configuration value and tries to convert to an <code>int</code> ordinal value.</p> </li>
<li> <p>the systems checks if the config source has a method int getOrdinal(). If present the result is used as ordinal.</p> </li>
<li> <p>the systems checks if the config source has a <code>@Priority</code> annotation and uses the annotation’s value as ordinal.</p> </li>
<li> <p>if all of the above fails, 0 is assumed as ordinal.</p> </li>
</ol>
</div>
<div class="admonitionblock note">

<td class="icon">
<div class="title">
Note
</div> </td>
<td class="content"> Since evaluation of the <code>config.ordinal</code> is always done first, it is possible to change the ordinal value by adding a corresponding configuration entry to a config source. </td>

</tbody>

</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>Tamaya Core uses the following default ordinals (see also the ConfigJSR spec):</p>

<td class="tableblock halign-left valign-top"><p class="tableblock">100</p></td>

<div class="paragraph">
<p>That means that the value of a configuration variable <code>x</code> passed as <code>-Dx=yes</code> has a higher precedence then the entry for configuration variable <code>x</code> specified in <code>META-INF/javaconfig.properties</code> as <code>x=no</code>.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>These ordinal values can be either hardcoded, or be dynamically configurable as key within each configuration resource. The ladder can be done by defining a special Tamaya ordinal value as follows:</p>
</div>
<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre class="prettyprint highlight"><code># override default ordinal for property files
config.ordinal=123</code></pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>This assigns an ordinal of 123 to each entry in that config source providing this configuration properties.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="sect2">
<h3 id="_using_additional_features_of_tamaya">Using additional features of Tamaya</h3>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>There many modules that extend the capabilities of Tamaya and the ConfigJSR. These modules doe not depend on core, so alternative implementations of the Tamaya API should work similarly. Following a small extract of most important modules available. Refer to <a href="extensions/extensions.html">this list</a> for a complete overview.</p>

Apache Tamaya (incubating) is an effort undergoing
incubation at

all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates
that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making
process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other
successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not
necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of
the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to
