An +API to access configuration data, a database to store configuration values +in XML format and a system to visualise and edit configuration data. The +whole system is built on top of bonobo and ORBit (CORBA). + + There are several APIs to access the configuration data, and the API can +be chosen through the bonobo moniker system. It is up to the programmer +to decide which interface is best for a given application. The +configuration system allows you to store the data with various backends. +Although BCS is shipped with it's own XML based backend, it is also +possible to use GConf, or LDAP as backend. The configuration database +architecture is a reimplementation of the GConf architecture developed by +Havoc Pennington using Bonobo-native idioms. |
