  39 /**
  40  * This class provides a skeletal implementation of the {@link Preferences}
  41  * class, greatly easing the task of implementing it.
  42  *
  43  * <p><strong>This class is for {@code Preferences} implementers only.
  44  * Normal users of the {@code Preferences} facility should have no need to
  45  * consult this documentation.  The {@link Preferences} documentation
  46  * should suffice.</strong>
  47  *
  48  * <p>Implementors must override the nine abstract service-provider interface
  49  * (SPI) methods: {@link #getSpi(String)}, {@link #putSpi(String,String)},
  50  * {@link #removeSpi(String)}, {@link #childSpi(String)}, {@link
  51  * #removeNodeSpi()}, {@link #keysSpi()}, {@link #childrenNamesSpi()}, {@link
  52  * #syncSpi()} and {@link #flushSpi()}.  All of the concrete methods specify
  53  * precisely how they are implemented atop these SPI methods.  The implementor
  54  * may, at his discretion, override one or more of the concrete methods if the
  55  * default implementation is unsatisfactory for any reason, such as
  56  * performance.
  57  *
  58  * <p>The SPI methods fall into three groups concerning exception
  59  * behavior. The {@code getSpi} method should never throw exceptions, but it
  60  * doesn't really matter, as any exception thrown by this method will be
  61  * intercepted by {@link #get(String,String)}, which will return the specified
  62  * default value to the caller.  The {@code removeNodeSpi, keysSpi,
  63  * childrenNamesSpi, syncSpi} and {@code flushSpi} methods are specified
  64  * to throw {@link BackingStoreException}, and the implementation is required
  65  * to throw this checked exception if it is unable to perform the operation.
  66  * The exception propagates outward, causing the corresponding API method
  67  * to fail.
  68  *
  69  * <p>The remaining SPI methods {@link #putSpi(String,String)}, {@link
  70  * #removeSpi(String)} and {@link #childSpi(String)} have more complicated
  71  * exception behavior.  They are not specified to throw
  72  * {@code BackingStoreException}, as they can generally obey their contracts
  73  * even if the backing store is unavailable.  This is true because they return
  74  * no information and their effects are not required to become permanent until
  75  * a subsequent call to {@link Preferences#flush()} or
  76  * {@link Preferences#sync()}. Generally speaking, these SPI methods should not
  77  * throw exceptions.  In some implementations, there may be circumstances
  78  * under which these calls cannot even enqueue the requested operation for
  79  * later processing.  Even under these circumstances it is generally better to
  80  * simply ignore the invocation and return, rather than throwing an
  81  * exception.  Under these circumstances, however, subsequently invoking
  82  * {@code flush()} or {@code sync} would not imply that all previous
  83  * operations had successfully been made permanent.
  84  *
  85  * <p>There is one circumstance under which {@code putSpi, removeSpi and
  86  * childSpi} <i>should</i> throw an exception: if the caller lacks
  87  * sufficient privileges on the underlying operating system to perform the
  88  * requested operation.  This will, for instance, occur on most systems
  89  * if a non-privileged user attempts to modify system preferences.
  90  * (The required privileges will vary from implementation to
  91  * implementation.  On some implementations, they are the right to modify the
  92  * contents of some directory in the file system; on others they are the right
  93  * to modify contents of some key in a registry.)  Under any of these
  94  * circumstances, it would generally be undesirable to let the program
  95  * continue executing as if these operations would become permanent at a later
  96  * time.  While implementations are not required to throw an exception under
  97  * these circumstances, they are encouraged to do so.  A {@link
  98  * SecurityException} would be appropriate.
  99  *
 100  * <p>Most of the SPI methods require the implementation to read or write
 101  * information at a preferences node.  The implementor should beware of the
 102  * fact that another VM may have concurrently deleted this node from the
 103  * backing store.  It is the implementation's responsibility to recreate the
 104  * node if it has been deleted.
 105  *
 106  * <p>Implementation note: In Sun's default {@code Preferences}
 107  * implementations, the user's identity is inherited from the underlying
 108  * operating system and does not change for the lifetime of the virtual
 109  * machine.  It is recognized that server-side {@code Preferences}
 110  * implementations may have the user identity change from request to request,
 111  * implicitly passed to {@code Preferences} methods via the use of a
 112  * static {@link ThreadLocal} instance.  Authors of such implementations are
 113  * <i>strongly</i> encouraged to determine the user at the time preferences
 114  * are accessed (for example by the {@link #get(String,String)} or {@link
 115  * #put(String,String)} method) rather than permanently associating a user
 116  * with each {@code Preferences} instance.  The latter behavior conflicts
 117  * with normal {@code Preferences} usage and would lead to great confusion.
