Direct Known Subclasses:

MutablePropertySet
```
public class PropertySet
extends java.lang.Object
```
Represents a property set in the Horrible Property Set Format (HPSF). These are usually metadata of a Microsoft Office document.

An application that wants to access these metadata should create an instance of this class or one of its subclasses by calling the factory method PropertySetFactory.create(java.io.InputStream) and then retrieve the information its needs by calling appropriate methods.

PropertySetFactory.create(java.io.InputStream) does its work by calling one of the constructors PropertySet(InputStream) or PropertySet(byte[]). If the constructor's argument is not in the Horrible Property Set Format, i.e. not a property set stream, or if any other error occurs, an appropriate exception is thrown.

A PropertySet has a list of Sections, and each Section has a Property array. Use getSections() to retrieve the Sections, then call Section.getProperties() for each Section to get hold of the Property arrays.
Since the vast majority of PropertySets contains only a single Section, the convenience method getProperties() returns the properties of a PropertySet's Section (throwing a NoSingleSectionException if the PropertySet contains more (or less) than exactly one Section).

protected PropertySet()
```
    Creates an empty (uninitialized) PropertySet.
    
    Please note: For the time being this constructor is protected since it is used for internal purposes only, but expect it to become public once the property set's writing functionality is implemented.
  - PropertySet
```
public PropertySet(java.io.InputStream stream)
            throws NoPropertySetStreamException,
                   MarkUnsupportedException,
                   java.io.IOException,
                   java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException
```
    Creates a PropertySet instance from an InputStream in the Horrible Property Set Format.
    
    The constructor reads the first few bytes from the stream and determines whether it is really a property set stream. If it is, it parses the rest of the stream. If it is not, it resets the stream to its beginning in order to let other components mess around with the data and throws an exception.
    
    Parameters:
    
    stream - Holds the data making out the property set stream.
    
    Throws:
    
    MarkUnsupportedException - if the stream does not support the InputStream.markSupported() method.
    
    java.io.IOException - if the InputStream cannot not be accessed as needed.
    
    NoPropertySetStreamException - if the input stream does not contain a property set.
    
    java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException - if a character encoding is not supported.
  - PropertySet

                   java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException
```
    Creates a PropertySet instance from a byte array that represents a stream in the Horrible Property Set Format.
    
    Parameters:
    
    stream - The byte array holding the stream data.
    
    offset - The offset in stream where the stream data begin. If the stream data begin with the first byte in the array, the offset is 0.
    
    length - The length of the stream data.
    
    Throws:
    
    NoPropertySetStreamException - if the byte array is not a property set stream.
    
    java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException - if the codepage is not supported.
  - PropertySet
```
public PropertySet(byte[] stream)
            throws NoPropertySetStreamException,

```
    Creates a PropertySet instance from a byte array that represents a stream in the Horrible Property Set Format.
    
    Parameters:
    
    stream - The byte array holding the stream data. The complete byte array contents is the stream data.
    
    Throws:
    
    NoPropertySetStreamException - if the byte array is not a property set stream.
    
    java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException - if the codepage is not supported.

public boolean isSummaryInformation()
```
    Checks whether this PropertySet represents a Summary Information.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this PropertySet represents a Summary Information, else false.
  - isDocumentSummaryInformation
```
public boolean isDocumentSummaryInformation()
```
    Checks whether this PropertySet is a Document Summary Information.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this PropertySet represents a Document Summary Information, else false.
  - getProperties
```
public Property[] getProperties()
                         throws NoSingleSectionException
```
    Convenience method returning the Property array contained in this property set. It is a shortcut for getting the PropertySet's Sections list and then getting the Property array from the first Section.
    
    Returns:
    
    The properties of the only Section of this PropertySet.
    
    Throws:
    
    NoSingleSectionException - if the PropertySet has more or less than one Section.
  - getProperty
```
protected java.lang.Object getProperty(int id)
                                throws NoSingleSectionException
```
    Convenience method returning the value of the property with the specified ID. If the property is not available, null is returned and a subsequent call to wasNull() will return true .
    
    Parameters:
    
    id - The property ID
    
    Returns:
    
    The property value
    
    Throws:
    
    NoSingleSectionException - if the PropertySet has more or less than one Section.
  - getPropertyBooleanValue
```
protected boolean getPropertyBooleanValue(int id)
                                   throws NoSingleSectionException
```
    Convenience method returning the value of a boolean property with the specified ID. If the property is not available, false is returned. A subsequent call to wasNull() will return true to let the caller distinguish that case from a real property value of false.
    
    Parameters:
    
    id - The property ID
    
    Returns:
    
    The property value
    
    Throws:
    
    NoSingleSectionException - if the PropertySet has more or less than one Section.
  - getPropertyIntValue
```
protected int getPropertyIntValue(int id)
                           throws NoSingleSectionException
```
    Convenience method returning the value of the numeric property with the specified ID. If the property is not available, 0 is returned. A subsequent call to wasNull() will return true to let the caller distinguish that case from a real property value of 0.
    
    Parameters:
    
    id - The property ID
    
    Returns:
    
    The propertyIntValue value
    
    Throws:
    
    NoSingleSectionException - if the PropertySet has more or less than one Section.
  - wasNull
```
public boolean wasNull()
                throws NoSingleSectionException
```
    Checks whether the property which the last call to getPropertyIntValue(int) or getProperty(int) tried to access was available or not. This information might be important for callers of getPropertyIntValue(int) since the latter returns 0 if the property does not exist. Using wasNull(), the caller can distiguish this case from a property's real value of 0.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the last call to getPropertyIntValue(int) or getProperty(int) tried to access a property that was not available, else false.
    
    Throws:
    
    NoSingleSectionException - if the PropertySet has more than one Section.
  - getFirstSection
```
public Section getFirstSection()
```
    Gets the PropertySet's first section.
    
    Returns:
    
    The PropertySet's first section.
  - getSingleSection
```
public Section getSingleSection()
```
    If the PropertySet has only a single section this method returns it.
    
    Returns:
    
    The singleSection value
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)
```
    Returns true if the PropertySet is equal to the specified parameter, else false.
    
    Overrides:

    Overrides:
    
    hashCode in class java.lang.Object
    
    See Also:
