Core Services

Configuration Service

ConfigurationService contributed to DSpace 1.7.1 (Service Manager Version 2.0.3) And maintains Parity with the existing DSpace ConfigurationManager in supporting "dspace.cfg" and modular "config/modules/\[module\].cfg" configuration.

The ConfigurationService controls the external and internal configuration of DSpace 2. It reads Properties files when the kernel starts up and merges them with any dynamic configuration data which is available from the services. This service allows settings to be updated as the system is running, and also defines listeners which allow services to know when their configuration settings have changed and take action if desired. It is the central point to access and manage all the configuration settings in DSpace.

Modular Default Configuration

_\[~mdiggory:addon.jar\]/config/\[~mdiggory:service\].cfg _

Any service can provide sane defaults in a java properties configuration file. These properties will be able to be looked up directly using a prefix as syntax.

...

Modularization of Configuration Not Bound to API signature.

_\[~mdiggory:dspace\]/config/module/\[~mdiggory:prefix\].cfg_

Any service can provide overrides in the DSpace home configuration directory sane defaults in a java properties configuration file. These properties will be able to be looked up directly using a prefix as syntax.

We want to clarify that that the Testing Framework in the DSpace Services Module Predated the actual JUnit testing support that was added to dspace-api.  Testing is a very beneficial practice where the developer writes small java based test of the code they are going to produce.  The
