Interface PropertySetManager

All Superinterfaces:

weblogic.jws.control.Control, com.bea.control.Control, Serializable

public interface PropertySetManager

extends weblogic.jws.control.Control

PropertySetManager is a stateless session bean that provides access to property sets, through PropertySetRepositories. It also provides translation between XML and property set objects for use in the data synchronization framework.

This control has been deprecated. Instead, use the ProfileControl to get an instance of the PropertySetManager associated with that profile manager, and use the API directly on the PropertySetManager.

The PropertySetManager EJB will maintain a mapping of property set types to property set repositories so that the appropriate repository will be queried when a PropertySet is requested.

To define a property set type to repository class mapping, create an entry in the PropertySetManager's deployment descriptor that follows this pattern:

   <env-entry>
     <env-entry-name>repository/USER</env-entry-name>
     <env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
     <env-entry-value>com.bea.p13n.platform.property.internal.PropertySetRepositoryImpl</env-entry-value>
   </env-entry>
