  38 /**
  39  * This class provides a skeletal implementation of the {@link Preferences}
  40  * class, greatly easing the task of implementing it.
  41  *
  42  * <p><strong>This class is for <tt>Preferences</tt> implementers only.
  43  * Normal users of the <tt>Preferences</tt> facility should have no need to
  44  * consult this documentation.  The {@link Preferences} documentation
  45  * should suffice.</strong>
  46  *
  47  * <p>Implementors must override the nine abstract service-provider interface
  48  * (SPI) methods: {@link #getSpi(String)}, {@link #putSpi(String,String)},
  49  * {@link #removeSpi(String)}, {@link #childSpi(String)}, {@link
  50  * #removeNodeSpi()}, {@link #keysSpi()}, {@link #childrenNamesSpi()}, {@link
  51  * #syncSpi()} and {@link #flushSpi()}.  All of the concrete methods specify
  52  * precisely how they are implemented atop these SPI methods.  The implementor
  53  * may, at his discretion, override one or more of the concrete methods if the
  54  * default implementation is unsatisfactory for any reason, such as
  55  * performance.
  56  *
  57  * <p>The SPI methods fall into three groups concerning exception
  58  * behavior. The <tt>getSpi</tt> method should never throw exceptions, but it
  59  * doesn't really matter, as any exception thrown by this method will be
  60  * intercepted by {@link #get(String,String)}, which will return the specified
  61  * default value to the caller.  The <tt>removeNodeSpi, keysSpi,
  62  * childrenNamesSpi, syncSpi</tt> and <tt>flushSpi</tt> methods are specified
  63  * to throw {@link BackingStoreException}, and the implementation is required
  64  * to throw this checked exception if it is unable to perform the operation.
  65  * The exception propagates outward, causing the corresponding API method
  66  * to fail.
  67  *
  68  * <p>The remaining SPI methods {@link #putSpi(String,String)}, {@link
  69  * #removeSpi(String)} and {@link #childSpi(String)} have more complicated
  70  * exception behavior.  They are not specified to throw
  71  * <tt>BackingStoreException</tt>, as they can generally obey their contracts
  72  * even if the backing store is unavailable.  This is true because they return
  73  * no information and their effects are not required to become permanent until
  74  * a subsequent call to {@link Preferences#flush()} or
  75  * {@link Preferences#sync()}. Generally speaking, these SPI methods should not
  76  * throw exceptions.  In some implementations, there may be circumstances
  77  * under which these calls cannot even enqueue the requested operation for
  78  * later processing.  Even under these circumstances it is generally better to
  79  * simply ignore the invocation and return, rather than throwing an
  80  * exception.  Under these circumstances, however, all subsequent invocations
  81  * of <tt>flush()</tt> and <tt>sync</tt> should return <tt>false</tt>, as
  82  * returning <tt>true</tt> would imply that all previous operations had
  83  * successfully been made permanent.
  84  *
  85  * <p>There is one circumstance under which <tt>putSpi, removeSpi and
  86  * childSpi</tt> <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 <tt>Preferences</tt>
 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 <tt>Preferences</tt>
 110  * implementations may have the user identity change from request to request,
 111  * implicitly passed to <tt>Preferences</tt> 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 <tt>Preferences</tt> instance.  The latter behavior conflicts
 117  * with normal <tt>Preferences</tt> usage and would lead to great confusion.
