Interface JasenConfigurationLoader

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultJasenConfigurationLoader

public interface JasenConfigurationLoader

The loader is used to logically separate the task of loading configuration away from the engine
When the auto update engine is used, a restart of the engine may be required. In this case the engine must know where its configuration resides without the user of the engine's intervention

If the engine caller specifies their own configuration, the loader is used to dynamically reload this configuration

Method Summary

void	closeConfigurationStream() Closes the configuration stream
InputStream	openConfigurationStream() Opens a stream to the XML configuration required to initialise the engine
