Class LiOConfiguration

java.lang.Object
  lio.core.LiOConfiguration

public class LiOConfiguration
extends java.lang.Object

This class encapsulates the default configuration of the library. That is datatypes, resources and relations between them. In fact this informations is stored in a file called lio.conf and can be easily modified to reflect new changes

Constructor Summary

LiOConfiguration()
Creates a new instance of LiO by reading the configuration file and store all the information about available resources
