The requested configuration is changed usually by calling + <member>requestResourceActivation()</member> and + <member>requestResourceDeactivation()</member>.</li> + </ul></p> + + <p>When the two configurations differ then the current configuration is + updated eventually to reflect the requested configuration. An update + takes place when the following three conditions are fullfilled. + <ol> + <li>when the last pending request for configuration changes has been + processed,</li> + <li>when the <member>update()</member> method is called.</li> + <li>when the configuration manager it is unlocked after formerly being + locked.</li> + </ol></p> + + <p>Requests for configuration changes are handled in a two step process: + <ol> + <li>First the requested configuration is updated iteratively: Every + request that is being made by calling + <member>requestResourceActivation()</member> or + <member>requestResourceDeactivation()</member> results in one or more + function objects, that each implement the + <type>XConfigurationChangeRequest</type> interface. These are inserted + into a queue. The request objects in the queue are processed + asynchronously one at a time in the order in which they are inserted. + Only when one request object is processed a change to the requested + configuration is made. These changes are broadcasted to registered + <type>XConfigurationChangeListener</type> objects. Listeners may + decide to make requests that then are added to the queue. For example + when the view in the center pane is replaced by another view, some + listeners may want to turn some side panes on or off, or show other + views in the side panes.</p> + <p>This process goes on until the queue of request objects becomes + empty. Until this point only the requested configuration has been + modified. No resources have been activated or deactivated.</p></li> + + <li><p>The second update step activates or deactivates resources so that + the current configuration (the one that comprises the actually active + resources) reflects the requested configuration.</p> + <p>The order in which resources are activated or deactivated depends on + the dependency between the resources. For example a view depends on the + pane it is displayed in. Resources that other resources depend on are + activated first and deactivated last. The order is undefined for + unrelated resources.</p> + <p>Note that the second update step may not be able to activate (or even to + deactivate) all the requested resources. Either because they are + temporarily or permanently unavailable. For example, during the + start-up of a new Impress application the side panes are displayed + with a visible delay because they are not provided sooner by the + underlying framework. Such anavailable resources are not forgotten but + remain in the requested configuration. Every time the configuration + controller updates its current configuration these resources are + requested once more.</li></ol></p> + + <p>The configuration controller sends the following events: + <ul> + <li><const>ResourceActivationRequested</const> is sent when the + activation of a resource has been requested and the resource is not yet + active in the requested configuration. The event is sent when the + configuration change request is executed, not when the + <member>requestResourceActivation()</member> call is made.</p> + <p>The <member scope="ConfigurationChangeEvent">ResourceId</member> member is set to the requested + resource. The <member>ResourceObject</member> member is not + set.</p></li> + <li><const>ResourceDeactivationRequested</const> is sent when the + deactivation of a resource has been requested and the resource is active + in the requested configuration. The event is sent when the + configuration change request is executed that is created when for + example <member>requestResourceDeactivation()</member> is called.</p> + <p>The <member>ResourceId</member> member is set to the requested + resource. The <member>ResourceObject</member> member is not + set.</p></li> + <li><const>ConfigurationUpdateStart</const> is sent before the update of + the current configuration starts.</p> + <p>The requested configuration is available in the <member + scope="ConfigurationChangeEvent">Configuration</member> member.
