Interface ConfigPersistenceElement

All Known Subinterfaces:

ConfigElementRef, DependentServiceP, ExtendedPropertyP, ExtendedPropertySetP, ExtendedPropertySetRefP, ExtendedPropertySetsP, ExtendedPropertyValuesP, JpsConfigurationP, JpsContextP, JpsContextRefP, JpsContextsP, PropertyP, PropertySetP, PropertySetRefP, PropertySetsP, ServiceInstanceP

public interface ConfigPersistenceElement

The Base Class for Persistence (DAO) Layer JpsConfiguration Elements. Not every method here would be applicable to all the persistence layer configuration elements. For example depending on the Persistence Backend the persist method may or maynot apply to every configuration element.

The unnamed container/grouping elements PropertySetsP, ExtendedPropertySetsP, ServiceInstancesP and ServiceProvidersP pose a problem when it comes to defining a Persistence model for the PropertyChanges[].
