RegistryPages; ArchitectureGroup

The registry group is responsible for the design and implementation of the JOS registry system, along with security and a GUI interface for managing registries.

Maintainer is: AlexisPetrounias - withheld

The registry API can be found under the org.jos.registry package.

A lot of help needed on this new group and sub project!

Help Wanted: We need more information on the UNIX(tm) and Linux configuration (.conf) files. Who knows their format? While I'm sure each programmer could make up their own format, configuration files have a consistent format. It seems that there must be rules (or even an existing API and/or library) for these things. We need to at least be able to read configuration files in JOS. -- GilbertHerschberger (23 June 1999).

Help Wanted: We need more information on property files (.properties). These are standard Java 1.1+ files from Sun Microsystems. Who knows their format? Is there more information about property files on JavaSoft's website?

Property files can be read (and written) using the registry API. Property files seem to have a platform-independent format and platform-dependent content.

And, we still need more information on .conf and .ini files, too. -- GilbertHerschberger (8 July 1999).

We require a converter that can read and incorporate information from .ini and .conf files into the registry. The registry CANNOT work on such flat files, as it is a purely object-oriented structure. There are many advantages from this, such as speed, manageability, security and easy distribution. Maybe the JOS registry could have a method such as translateRegistryInformation(URI resource).
