Class OptionsFile

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    InstanceManagerAutoDefault

    public class OptionsFile
    extends XmlFile
    implements InstanceManagerAutoDefault
    Handles reading and writing of Dispatcher options to disk as an XML file called "dispatcher-options.xml" in the user's preferences area.

    The file is written when the user requests that options be saved. If the dispatcheroptions.xml file is present when Dispatcher is started, it is read and options set accordingly
