This class is for {@code Preferences} implementers only. * Normal users of the {@code Preferences} facility should have no need to * consult this documentation. The {@link Preferences} documentation * should suffice. * *
Implementors must override the nine abstract service-provider interface * (SPI) methods: {@link #getSpi(String)}, {@link #putSpi(String,String)}, * {@link #removeSpi(String)}, {@link #childSpi(String)}, {@link * #removeNodeSpi()}, {@link #keysSpi()}, {@link #childrenNamesSpi()}, {@link * #syncSpi()} and {@link #flushSpi()}. All of the concrete methods specify * precisely how they are implemented atop these SPI methods. The implementor * may, at his discretion, override one or more of the concrete methods if the * default implementation is unsatisfactory for any reason, such as * performance. * *
The SPI methods fall into three groups concerning exception * behavior. The {@code getSpi} method should never throw exceptions, but it * doesn't really matter, as any exception thrown by this method will be * intercepted by {@link #get(String,String)}, which will return the specified * default value to the caller. The {@code removeNodeSpi, keysSpi, * childrenNamesSpi, syncSpi} and {@code flushSpi} methods are specified * to throw {@link BackingStoreException}, and the implementation is required * to throw this checked exception if it is unable to perform the operation. * The exception propagates outward, causing the corresponding API method * to fail. * *
The remaining SPI methods {@link #putSpi(String,String)}, {@link * #removeSpi(String)} and {@link #childSpi(String)} have more complicated * exception behavior. They are not specified to throw * {@code BackingStoreException}, as they can generally obey their contracts * even if the backing store is unavailable. This is true because they return * no information and their effects are not required to become permanent until * a subsequent call to {@link Preferences#flush()} or * {@link Preferences#sync()}. Generally speaking, these SPI methods should not * throw exceptions. In some implementations, there may be circumstances * under which these calls cannot even enqueue the requested operation for * later processing. Even under these circumstances it is generally better to * simply ignore the invocation and return, rather than throwing an * exception. Under these circumstances, however, subsequently invoking * {@code flush()} or {@code sync} would not imply that all previous * operations had successfully been made permanent. * *
There is one circumstance under which {@code putSpi, removeSpi and * childSpi} should throw an exception: if the caller lacks * sufficient privileges on the underlying operating system to perform the * requested operation. This will, for instance, occur on most systems * if a non-privileged user attempts to modify system preferences. * (The required privileges will vary from implementation to * implementation. On some implementations, they are the right to modify the * contents of some directory in the file system; on others they are the right * to modify contents of some key in a registry.) Under any of these * circumstances, it would generally be undesirable to let the program * continue executing as if these operations would become permanent at a later * time. While implementations are not required to throw an exception under * these circumstances, they are encouraged to do so. A {@link * SecurityException} would be appropriate. * *
Most of the SPI methods require the implementation to read or write * information at a preferences node. The implementor should beware of the * fact that another VM may have concurrently deleted this node from the * backing store. It is the implementation's responsibility to recreate the * node if it has been deleted. * *
Implementation note: In Sun's default {@code Preferences}
* implementations, the user's identity is inherited from the underlying
* operating system and does not change for the lifetime of the virtual
* machine. It is recognized that server-side {@code Preferences}
* implementations may have the user identity change from request to request,
* implicitly passed to {@code Preferences} methods via the use of a
* static {@link ThreadLocal} instance. Authors of such implementations are
* strongly encouraged to determine the user at the time preferences
* are accessed (for example by the {@link #get(String,String)} or {@link
* #put(String,String)} method) rather than permanently associating a user
* with each {@code Preferences} instance. The latter behavior conflicts
* with normal {@code Preferences} usage and would lead to great confusion.
