Method Detail

setBaseUrl

public void setBaseUrl(URL url)

This method sets the base URL name for data files associated with the file. The baseUrl should be null by default, which is an indicator to the loader that it should look for any associated files starting from the same place as the URL passed into the load(URL) method. Note: Users of setBaseUrl() would then use load(URL) as opposed to load(String).

Specified by:

setBaseUrl in interface Loader

setBasePath

public void setBasePath(String pathName)

This method sets the base path name for data files associated with the file. The basePath should be null by default, which is an indicator to the loader that it should look for any associated files starting from the same directory as the file passed into the load(String) method. Note: Users of setBasePath() would then use load(String) as opposed to load(URL).

Specified by:

getBaseUrl

public URL getBaseUrl()

Returns the current base URL setting.

getBasePath

public String getBasePath()
