Interface PropertyProvider

public interface PropertyProvider

The PropertyProvider service interface may be implemented by components that wish to define properties on the local instance which then are broadcast to the TopologyView instances.

The provided properties are registered with the PROPERTY_PROPERTIES service property. If the set of provided properties changes or one of the provided values change, the service registration of the provider should be updated. This avoids periodic polling for changes.
