getOption()

Gets the value of the specified data-handler configuration option (if it has been set).

Syntax

public String getOption(String name);

Parameters

name
Name of the configuration option.

Return values

A String object that contains the value of the option.

Notes

The getOption() method obtains the value of a configuration option. If the data handler has an associated child meta-object, the createHandler() method uses the default values of these meta-object attributes to initialize its configuration options. You can use the getOption() method to obtain the value of one of these options.
