/** manages one, or more, complete sets of configuration data and serves as a
factory for objects that provide access to a subset of the configuration.
<p>An implementation is usually obtained from a
com::sun::star::lang::ServiceManager. The arguments passed to
com::sun::star::lang::XMultiComponentFactory::createInstanceWithContextAndArguments()
select the configuration data source. Arguments must be provided as
com::sun::star::beans::NamedValue
or com::sun::star::beans::PropertyValue.
If the parameters given are incomplete missing values are taken
from the context or the environment. If an instance already exists for the
given set of arguments, the existing instance may be reused.
In particular, instantiating a provider without explicit arguments to access
the default configuration data will always yield the same
com::sun::star::configuration::DefaultProvider object.
</p>
<p>Some arguments for
com::sun::star::lang::XMultiServiceFactory::createInstanceWithArguments()
may be given default values during creation of this service. In particular
this applies to the parameters <code>"Locale"</code> and <code>"EnableAsync"</code>.
</p>
@deprecated Use theDefaultProvider instead.
*/
published service ConfigurationProvider
{
/** allows creating access objects for specific views such as subsets and fragments
of the configuration.
<p>The parameter <var>aServiceSpecifier</var> passed to
com::sun::star::lang::XMultiServiceFactory::createInstanceWithArguments()
supports at least the service specifiers
<code>"com.sun.star.configuration.ConfigurationAccess"</code> and
<code>"com.sun.star.configuration.ConfigurationUpdateAccess"</code>.
</p>
<p>Using the first of these service specifiers requests a read-only view of
the configuration.
The object that is created implements service ConfigurationAccess.
To reflect its <em>element role</em> as root of the view, it implements
service AccessRootElement.
</p>
<p>Using the second form requests an updatable view of the configuration.
The object that is created should implement service
ConfigurationUpdateAccess. To reflect its <em>element role</em>
which includes controlling updates for the whole view, it implements
service UpdateRootElement.
<BR />If the root element of the view is marked read-only (as indicated
by com::sun::star::beans::PropertyAttributes::READONLY),
the implementation may either raise an exception or return a (read-only)
ConfigurationAccess/AccessRootElement instead.
</p>
<p>The arguments passed to
com::sun::star::lang::XMultiServiceFactory::createInstanceWithArguments()
in parameter <var>aArguments</var> specify the view of the configuration that
should be created. That is, they determine the subset of elements that can be
accessed starting from the returned object. Each element of the argument
sequence should be a com::sun::star::beans::PropertyValue
or a com::sun::star::beans::NamedValue,
so that the parameters can be identified by name rather than by position.
</p>
<p>What combinations of arguments are supported depends on the service name.
</p>
<p>With both of the standard service-specifiers above, an implementation must
accept a single argument named <code>nodepath</code> of type `string`.
This argument must contain the absolute path to an element of the
configuration. The view that is selected consists of the named element and
all its descendants.
</p>
<p>Other arguments can be used to control the behavior of the view. These
are different for different implementations. Whether and how they are used
may also depend on the configuration store and configuration that were
selected when the provider was created.
</p>
<p>An implementation must ignore unknown arguments.</p>
<p>Some parameters that are commonly supported are:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>Selecting data into a view:</strong>
<dl>
<dt><code>"nodepath"</code> : `string`</dt>
<dd>specifies the location of the view root in the configuration.</dd>
<dt><code>"depth"</code> : `short`</dt>
<dd>specifies that elements of the hierarchy that are more than the given
number of nesting levels away from the root need not be included in the
view.
</dd>
<dt><code>"locale"</code> : com::sun::star::lang::Locale</dt>
<dd>specifies the locale for which localized values should be
retrieved.
</dd>
</dl>
<p><strong>Example:</strong> In the hierarchy
<BR /><pre>
A - B1 - C1
|
- B2 - C2 (localized: de, en, fr, ..)
| |
| - C3 - D1
| | |
| | - D2 - E1
| |
| - C4 - D3 - E2 - F1
| | |
| | - F2
| |
| - C5
|
- B3
|
- B4 - C6 - D4 - E3
</pre>
<BR />selecting a view with <code>nodepath = "/A/B2"</code>,
<code>depth = 2</code> and <code>locale = <Locale for en_US></code>
would result in the tree fragment
<BR /><pre>
(A-) B2 - C2 (en)
|
- C3 - D1
| |
| - D2 (..)
|
- C4 - D3 (..)
|
- C5
</pre>
</p>
</li>
<li>
<strong>Controlling cache behavior:</strong> (with providers that
cache configuration data)
<dl>
<dt><code>"enableasync"</code> : `boolean`</dt>
<dd>controls how updates are handled in the cache. If `TRUE`, the
cache may operate in <em>write-back</em> mode, where updates at
first only affect the cache and are written to persistent storage
at some later time. If `FALSE`, the cache must operate in
<em>write-through</em> mode, where updates are written to persistent
storage at once - that is before
com::sun::star::util::XChangesBatch::commitChanges()
returns.
<p><em>This parameter was formerly called <code>"lazywrite"</code>.
The old name should still be supported for compatibility.
</em></p>
</dd>
<dt><code>"nocache"</code> : `boolean`</dt>
<dd>This deprecated parameter
specifies that data for the view is not taken from the cache, but
read directly from storage. This may entail that future changes that
become visible in the cache are not reflected in this view and that
changes done through this view are not reflected in the cache.
<BR /><strong>Use with caution !</strong>
<p><em>This parameter is not supported by all implementations and may be
silently ignored !
</em></p>
</dd>
</dl>
</li>
</ul>
<p>com::sun::star::lang::XMultiServiceFactory::createInstance()
may be unusable. Only an implementation that supports service names that can be
used with no further arguments support this method. It should return the
same result as if
com::sun::star::lang::XMultiServiceFactory::createInstanceWithArguments()
had been called using an empty sequence of arguments.
</p>
*/
interface com::sun::star::lang::XMultiServiceFactory;

<p>The owner of the provider may dispose of this object
using com::sun::star::lang::XComponent::dispose().
Note that the default provider is owned by the
com::sun::star::lang::ServiceManager and should not be
disposed of by user code.
</p>
<p>Views created by the provider generally refer to data that is managed by
the provider. Therefore, disposing of the provider will cause all objects
belonging to these views to be disposed of as well. This does not apply to
<em>snapshot</em> views that have their own copy of the data, if available.
