Interface Configuration

All Known Implementing Classes:
MapBasedConfiguration

public interface Configuration
A component which provides for the registration, retrieval and deregistration of objects related to library module configuration.

An implementation may manage the registration, retrieval and deregistration of objects using a variety of mechanisms, such as internal in-memory storage, JNDI or a database.
