Interface ConfigurationProvider

public interface ConfigurationProvider

A configurationProvider provides configuration values for given keys. Implementors might use different strategies to find the configuration values (utilizing files, system properties, staging directories, etc, or combinations of those). If a configuration provider is published as a OSGi service (from its containing bundle), the class ServerConfigurationImpl in the skysail.server bundle will be able to utilize the configuration information (see file ConfigAggregation.xml).
