Constructor Detail

### ConfigurationMap

    public ConfigurationMap(Configuration configuration)

  Parameters:
    `configuration` - `Configuration` instance.

Method Detail

### getConfiguration

    public Configuration getConfiguration()

  Returns the wrapped `Configuration` object.

  Returns:
    the wrapped configuration
  Since:
    1.2

### entrySet

    public Set<Map.Entry<Object,Object>> entrySet()

  Returns a set with the entries contained in this configuration-based map.

  Specified by:
    `entrySet` in interface `Map<Object,Object>`
  Specified by:
    `entrySet` in class `AbstractMap<Object,Object>`
  Returns:
    a set with the contained entries
  See Also:
    `Map.entrySet()`

### put

    public Object put(Object key,
                      Object value)

  Stores the value for the specified key. The value is stored in the underlying configuration.

  Specified by:
    `put` in interface `Map<Object,Object>`
  Overrides:
    `put` in class `AbstractMap<Object,Object>`
  Parameters:
    `key` - the key (will be converted to a string)
    `value` - the value
  Returns:
    the old value of this key or null if it is new
  See Also:
    `Map.put(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object)`

### get

    public Object get(Object key)

  Returns the value of the specified key. The key is converted to a string and then passed to the underlying configuration.

  Specified by:
    `get` in interface `Map<Object,Object>`
  Overrides:
    `get` in class `AbstractMap<Object,Object>`
  Parameters:
    `key` - the key
  Returns:
    the value of this key
