Detailed Description

implicitly supports a local registry and a read-only system registry for global information.

In the context of this service, the functions open, close, and destroy from XSimpleRegistry are not supported and throw an exception if they are used.

Functions of XSimpleRegistry:

getURL

returns the name of the local registry.

isValid

checks if the local registry is valid. If the interface is not NULL the local registry should always be valid.

isReadOnly

checks if the local registry has write protection.

mergeKey

merges all information from the specified registry in the local registry.

getRootKey

returns a virtual rootkey of both registries.

Functions of XRegistryKey:

openKey

returns a virtual key which is specified in the local or the system registry.

deleteKey

deletes the key only if it is present in the local registry.

setLongValue, setAsciiValue, setStringValue, setBinaryValue

sets the value at the specified key in the local registry.

getLongValue, getAsciiValue, getStringValue, getBinaryValue

returns the value at the specified key in the local registry, or if the value is not present in the local registry, it will return the value of the system registry.

openKeys

returns a sequence of all subkeys in both registries.

getKeyNames

returns a sequence with the names of all subkeys in both registries.

Note: all write functions only work on the local registry.

How to find the registries:

search for the system registry:

The system registry will always be searched in the same directory as the executable. The name of the system registry is "applicat.rdb". If the system registry was not found, then the environment variable STAR_REGISTRY will be checked. If this variable was set, it must contain a full path to a valid system registry.

Search for the user registry using the following rules:

1. 1. (for further use) search in sversion.ini (.sversionrc) for an entry REGISTRY_VERSION_STRING (example: UserRegistry 5.0/505=test.rdb) in the section [Registry]. If found, then take this value instead of "user.rdb" as "REGISTRY NAME".
2. 2. Search in the config directory of the user for a file "REGISTRY NAME". If found, return the full path and name of the file. If not found, retry this step with a dot before "REGISTRY NAME".
3. 3. If not found, a new user registry with name user.rdb will be created in the user config directory.

Guarantees:

• -thread safe
