Interface PropertyProvider

All Known Subinterfaces:

PropertyGetProvider, PropertySetProvider

public interface PropertyProvider

extends Provider

This is superinterface of two interfaces for providers, which supply properties of
PropertyMap.
To keep property values is entirely reponsibility of providers. Providers can use, for example, uniquename of
Element to locate corresponding information in their databases.
However, provider can also implicitly use properties, supplied by other providers via standard
PropertyMap interface.
