Creating config.yaml with key value pairs in lists

I am trying to add multiple boundaries for my border plugin, however I am running into issues trying to write the configuration. This is what I am going for:

Code:

worlds:
    world:
        -
            radius: 20
            z: -70
            x: -30
            exceptions:
                - Player1
                - Player2
        -
            radius: 40
            z: 0
            x: 0
            exceptions:
                - Player2
                - Player3

However I can't figure out how to set it up this way with setProperties (where is my python dict when I need it!). Any suggestions?

 

I don't have any help for you, but I do have the same question. Anyone care to enlighten us?

 

Border class:

Code:

public class Border{
    private int radius, x, z;
    private List<String> exceptions;

    public Border(int radius, int x, int z, List<String> exceptions){
        this.radius = radius;
        this.x = x;
        this.z = z;
        this.exceptions = exceptions;
    }
    ...getters and setters...
}

Declare the list:

Code:

public List<Border> borders = new ArrayList<Border>();

Load the borders:

Code:

for(int u = 0; u < config.getKeys("worlds").size();u++){
    world = config.getKeys("worlds").get(u);
    for(int i = 0; i < config.getKeys("worlds." +config.getKeys("worlds").get(u)).size(); i++){
        radius = config.getInteger("worlds." + config.getKeys("worlds").get(u) + "." + config.getKeys("worlds." + config.getKeys("worlds").get(u)).get(i) + ".radius", 0);
        x = config.getInteger("worlds." + config.getKeys("worlds").get(u) + "." + config.getKeys("worlds." + config.getKeys("worlds").get(u)).get(i) + ".x", 0);
        z = config.getInteger("worlds." + config.getKeys("worlds").get(u) + "." + config.getKeys("worlds." + config.getKeys("worlds").get(u)).get(i) + ".z", 0);
        exceptions = config.getStringList("worlds." + "world." + config.getKeys("worlds." + config.getKeys("worlds").get(u)).get(i) + ".exceptions", new List<String());
    }
}

Save the borders:

Code:

for(int i = 0; i < borders.size(); i ++){
    config.setProperty("worlds." + border.get(i).getWorld() + "." + border.get(i).getId() + ".radius", border.get(i).getRadius());
    config.setProperty("worlds." + border.get(i).getWorld() + "." + border.get(i).getId() + ".x", border.get(i).getX());
    config.setProperty("worlds." + border.get(i).getWorld() + "." + border.get(i).getId() + ".Z", border.get(i).getZ());
    config.setProperty("worlds." + border.get(i).getWorld() + "." + border.get(i).getId() + "exceptions", border.get(i).getExceptions());
}

It would look like this:

Code:

worlds:
    world:
        border1:
            radius: 20
            z: -70
            x: -30
            exceptions:
                - Player1
                - Player2
        border2:
            radius: 40
            z: 0
            x: 0
            exceptions:
                - Player2
                - Player3

 

lol i am having the same problem, and I agree that Python dicts and Python in general rule the world ... btw im working on a Jython2Bukkit bridge so maybe eventually a python dict could be used here
