public abstract class ConfigurationsRepository
extends java.util.Hashtable

This class must be extended by properties providers that are syntax dependent.

The implementing classes should place into the encapsulated Hashtable only properties of the form:

  • [String key, String value] for single values
  • [String key, Vector values] where the vector must be a sequence of strings.
