Two hierarchy trees are maintained, one for * system preferences shared by all users and the other for user preferences * specific to the user. {@code Preferences} hierarchy trees and data are stored * in an implementation-dependent back-end. *
* Every node has one name and one unique absolute path following the same * notational conventions as directories in a file system. The root node's * name is "", and other node name strings cannot contain the slash character * and cannot be empty. The root node's absolute path is "/", and all other * nodes' absolute paths are constructed in the standard way: <parent's * absolute path> + "/" + <node's name>. Since the set of nodes forms a * tree with the root node at its base, all absolute paths start with the slash * character. Every node has one relative path to each of its ancestors. The * relative path doesn't start with slash: it equals the node's absolute path * with leading substring removed corresponding to the ancestor's absolute path * and a slash. *
* Modification to preferences data may be asynchronous, which means that * preference update method calls may return immediately instead of blocking. * The {@code flush()} and {@code sync()} methods force the back-end to * synchronously perform all pending updates, but the implementation is * permitted to perform the modifications on the underlying back-end data * at any time between the moment the request is made and the moment the * {@code flush()} or {@code sync()} method returns. Please note that if the JVM * exits normally, the implementation must assure all modifications are * persisted implicitly. *
* When invoking a method that retrieves preferences, the user must provide * a default value. The default value is returned when the preferences cannot * be found or the back-end is unavailable. Some other methods will throw * {@code BackingStoreException} when the back-end is unavailable. *
** Preferences can be exported to and imported from an XML files. These * documents must have an XML DOCTYPE declaration: *
{@code * * }* This system URI is not really accessed by network, it is only a * identification string. Visit the DTD location to see the actual format * permitted. *
* There must be a concrete {@code PreferencesFactory} type for every concrete * {@code Preferences} type developed. Every J2SE implementation must provide a * default implementation for every supported platform, and must also provide a * means of replacing the default implementation. This implementation uses the * system property {@code java.util.prefs.PreferencesFactory} to determine which * preferences implementation to use. *
* The methods of this class are thread-safe. If multiple JVMs are using the * same back-end concurrently, the back-end won't be corrupted, but no other * behavior guarantees are made. * * @see PreferencesFactory * * @since 1.4 */ public abstract class Preferences { /** * Maximum size in characters allowed for a preferences key. */ public static final int MAX_KEY_LENGTH = 80; /** * Maximum size in characters allowed for a preferences name. */ public static final int MAX_NAME_LENGTH = 80; /** * Maximum size in characters allowed for a preferences value. */ public static final int MAX_VALUE_LENGTH = 8192; // factory used to get user/system prefs root private static volatile PreferencesFactory factory = findPreferencesFactory(); /** * @hide for testing only. */ public static PreferencesFactory setPreferencesFactory(PreferencesFactory pf) { PreferencesFactory previous = factory; factory = pf; return previous; } private static PreferencesFactory findPreferencesFactory() { // Try the system property first...
