public abstract class AbstractConfigBean
extends java.lang.Object
implements ConfigBean

abstract base class for ConfigBeans.

ConfigBeans are configurations parsed into JavaBeans^TM which are usually managed by the local PoorMansCache (see:PoorMansCache.getConfig(Class), PoorMansCache.getBundleConfig(Class, org.torweg.pulse.bundle.Bundle) ).

The AbstractConfigBean is a basic implementation of the hooks needed by the PoorMansCache and is the recommended base class for all other ConfigBeans.
