StatefulConfiguration (OpenICF Framework 1.5.20.15 Documentation)

All Superinterfaces:

Configuration
```
public interface StatefulConfiguration
extends Configuration
```
A Stateful Configuration interface extends the default Configuration and makes the framework keep the same instance.
The default Configuration object instance is constructed every single time before the Connector.init(Configuration) is called. If the configuration class implements this interface then the Framework keeps one instance of Configuration and the Connector.init(Configuration) is called with the same instance. This requires extra caution because the framework only guaranties to create one instance and set the properties before it calls the Connector.init(Configuration) on different connector instances in multiple different threads at the same time. The Connector developer must quarantine that the necessary resource initialisation are thread-safe.
If the connector implements the PoolableConnector then this configuration is kept in the org.identityconnectors.framework.impl.api.local.ConnectorPoolManager and when the org.identityconnectors.framework.impl.api.local.ConnectorPoolManager#dispose() calls the release() method. If the connector implements only the Connector then this configuration is kept in the ConnectorFacade and the application must take care of releasing.
