AbstractConfig (OptaPlanner distribution 8.11.1.Final API)

java.lang.Object
- org.optaplanner.core.config.AbstractConfig<Config_>

Type Parameters:

Config_ - the same class as the implementing subclass

Direct Known Subclasses:

BenchmarkReportConfig, ConstructionHeuristicForagerConfig, EntityPlacerConfig, LocalSearchAcceptorConfig, LocalSearchForagerConfig, PhaseConfig, ProblemBenchmarksConfig, ScoreDirectorFactoryConfig, SelectorConfig, SolverBenchmarkConfig, SolverConfig, SolverManagerConfig, TerminationConfig
```
public abstract class AbstractConfig<Config_ extends AbstractConfig<Config_>>
extends Object
```
A config class is a user friendly, validating configuration class that maps XML input. It builds the runtime impl classes (which are optimized for scalability and performance instead).
A config class should adhere to "configuration by exception" in its XML/JSON input/output, so all non-static fields should be null by default. Using the config class to build a runtime class, must not alter the config class's XML/JSON output.

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`abstract Config_`	`copyConfig()`	Typically implemented by constructing a new instance and calling `inherit(AbstractConfig)` on it
`abstract Config_`	`inherit(Config_ inheritedConfig)`	Inherits each property of the `inheritedConfig` unless that property (or a semantic alternative) is defined by this instance (which overwrites the inherited behaviour).
`String`	`toString()`
`abstract void`	`visitReferencedClasses(Consumer<Class<?>> classVisitor)`	Call the class visitor on each (possibly null) Class instance provided to this config by the user (including those provided in child configs).

```
public AbstractConfig()
```
- Method Detail
  - inherit
```
public abstract Config_ inherit(Config_ inheritedConfig)
```
    Inherits each property of the inheritedConfig unless that property (or a semantic alternative) is defined by this instance (which overwrites the inherited behaviour).
    After the inheritance, if a property on this AbstractConfig composition is replaced, it should not affect the inherited composition instance.
    
    Parameters:
    
    inheritedConfig - never null
    
    Returns:
    
    this
  - copyConfig
```
public abstract Config_ copyConfig()
```
    Typically implemented by constructing a new instance and calling inherit(AbstractConfig) on it
    
    Returns:
    
    new instance
  - visitReferencedClasses
```
public abstract void visitReferencedClasses(Consumer<Class<?>> classVisitor)
```
    Call the class visitor on each (possibly null) Class instance provided to this config by the user (including those provided in child configs). Required to create the bean factory in Quarkus.
    
    Parameters:
    
    classVisitor - The visitor of classes, never null. Can accept null instances of Class
  - toString
```
public String toString()
```
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class Object
