+
+These parts are explained in the following sections. It is recommended that 
user's of the API read through this part.
+All subsequent parts are building upon this concepts and may be more difficult 
to understand without having read
+this section.
+
+
+[[APIKeyValues]]
+=== Key/Value Pairs
+
+Basically configuration is a very generic concept. Therefore it should be 
modelled in a generic way. The most simple
+and similarly most commonly used are simple literal key/value pairs. So the 
core building block of {name} are key/value pairs.
+You can think of a common +.properties+ file, e.g.
+
+[source,properties]
+.A simple properties file
+--------------------------------------------
+a.b.c=cVal
+a.b.c.1=cVal1
+a.b.c.2=cVal2
+a=aVal
+a.b=abVal
+a.b2=abVal
+--------------------------------------------
+
+Now you can use +java.util.Properties+ to read this file and access the 
corresponding properties, e.g.
+
+[source,properties]
+.Accessing some properties
+--------------------------------------------
+Properties props = new Properties();
+props.readProperties(...);
+String val = props.getProperty("a.b.c");
+val = props.getProperty("a.b.c.1");
+...
+--------------------------------------------
+
+This looks familiar to most of you. Nevertheless when looking closer to the 
above key/value pairs,
+there are more concepts in place: looking at the keys +a.b.c+, +a.b.c.1+, 
+a.b.c.2+, +a+, +a.b+ we
+see that the key names build up a flattened tree structure. So we can define 
the following:
+
+Given a key +p1.p2.p3.k=value+:
+
+* +p1.p2.p3.k+ is called the _qualified key_
+* +p1.p2.p3+ is the key's _area_
+* the child areas +p1.p2", "p1+ are called _areas_ as well
+* +k+ is the _(unqualified) key_
+
+Given that you can perform some very useful actions:
+
+* you can filter the keys with an area. E.g. in the example before you can 
query for all keys within the area +a.b.c+
+  and map them to new properties set as follows:
+
+[source,properties]
+.Accessing an area
+--------------------------------------------
+1=cVal1
+2=cVal2
+--------------------------------------------
+
+Similarly accessing the area +a+ results in the following properties:
+
+[source,properties]
+.Accessing the area +a+
+--------------------------------------------
+b=abVal
+b2=abVal
+--------------------------------------------
+
+Additionally you can access all values of an area recursively, so accessing 
+a+ recursively results in
+the following properties:
+
+[source,properties]
+.Accessing area +a+ recursively
+--------------------------------------------
+b.c=cVal
+b.c.1=cVal1
+b.c.2=cVal2
+b=abVal
+b2=abVal
+--------------------------------------------
+
+Why this is useful? Well there are different use cases:
+
+* you can segregate your configuration properties, e.g. a module can access 
its module configuration by
+  querying all properties under the area +config.modules.myModule+ (or 
whatever would be appropriate).
+* you can use this mechanism to configure maps (or more generally: 
collections).
+* you can easily filter parts of configuration
+* ...and more.
+
+==== Why Using Strings Only
+
+Using Strings as base representation of configuration comes with several huge 
advantages:
+
+* Strings are simple to understand
+* Strings are human readable and therefore easy to prove for correctness
+* Strings can easily be used within different language, different VMs, files 
or network communications.
+* Strings can easily be compared and manipulated
+* Strings can easily be searched, indexed and cached
+* It is very easy to provide Strings as configuration, which gives much 
flexibility for providing configuration in
+  production as well in testing.
+* and more
+
+On the other side there are also disadvantages:
+
+* Strings are inherently not type safe, they do not provide validation out of 
the box for special types, such as
+numbers,
+  dates etc.
+* Often you want not to work with Strings, but with according types.
+* Strings are not hierarchical, so mapping hierarchical structures requires 
some extra efforts.
+
+Nevertheless most of these advantages can be mitigated easily, hereby still 
keeping all the benefits from above:
+
+* Adding type safe converters on top of String allow to add any type easily, 
that can be directly mapped out of Strings.
+  This includes all common base types such as numbers, dates, time, but also 
timezones, formatting patterns and more.
+* Even more complex mappings can be easily realized, by using String not as a 
direct representation of configuration,
+  but a reference that defines where the more complex configuration artifact 
is available. This mechanism is similarly
+  easy to understand as parsing Strings to numbers, but is powerful enough to 
provide e.g. all kind of deployment
+  descriptors in Java EE.
+* Hierarchical and collection types can be mapped in different ways:
+** The keys of configuration can have additional syntax/semantics. E.g. when 
adding dor-separating path semantics
+*** trees/maps can also simply be mapped.
+
+[APIPropertyProviders]
+=== Property Providers
+==== Basic Model
+
+We have seen that constrain configuration aspects to simple literal key/value 
pairs provides us with an easy to
+understand, generic, flexible, yet expendable mechanism. Looking at the Java 
language features a +vava.util.Map<String,
+String>+ and +java.util.Properties+ basically model these quite well out of 
the box.
+So it makes sense to build configuration on top of the JDK's +Map+ interface. 
This creates immediately additional
+benefits:
+
+* we inherit full Lambda and collection support
+* Maps are widely known and well understood
+
+Nevertheless there are some things to be considered:
+
+* Configuration also requires meta-data, such as
+** the origin of a certain configuration entry and how it was derived from 
other values
+** the sensitivity of some data
+** the provider that have read the data
+** the time, when the data was read
+** the timestamp, when some data may be outdated
+** ...
+
+Basically the same is also the not related to some single configuration key, 
but also to a whole map.
+The +PropertyProvider+ interface models exact these aspects and looks as 
illustrated below:
+
+[source,java]
+.Interface PropertyProvider
+--------------------------------------------
+public interface PropertyProvider{
+
+      Optional<String> get(String key);
+      boolean containsKey(String key);
+      Map<String, String> toMap();
+      MetaInfo getMetaInfo();
+
+      default Set<String> keySet();
+      default ConfigChangeSet load();
+      default boolean isMutable();
+      default void apply(ConfigChangeSet change);
+}
+--------------------------------------------
+
+Hereby
+
+* +getMetaInfo()+ return the meta information for the property provider, as 
well as for individual property key/value pairs.
+* +get, containsKey, keySet+ look similar to the methods on +Map+, though 
+get+ uses the +Optional+ type introduced
+  with Java 8. This avoids returning +null+ or throwing exceptions in case no 
such entry is available and also
+  reduced the API's footprint, since default values can be easily implemented 
by calling +Optional.orElse+.
+* +isMutable()+ allows to easy check, if a property provider is mutable, which 
is more elegant than catching
+  +NonSupportedOperation+ exception thrown on the according methods of +Map+.
+* +load()+ finally allows to (re)load a property map. It depends on the 
implementing source, if this operation
+  has any effect. If the map changes an according +ConfigChange+ must be 
returned, describing the
+  changes applied.
+* +hasSameProperties+ allows to perform a comparison with another provider.
+* +toMap+ allows to extract thing to a +Map+.
+
+This simple model will be used within the spi, where configuration can be 
injected/provided from external resources.
+But we have seen, that we have to consider additional aspects, such as 
extendability and type safety. Therefore we
+extend +PropertyMap+ and hereby also apply the 'composite pattern', which 
results in the following key abstraction.
+
+==== Meta Information
+
+Each instance also provides an instance of +MetaInfo+, which provides meta 
information for the providers and its properties:
+
+[source,java]
+.Accessing Meta Information
+--------------------------------------------
+PropertyProvider prov = ...;
+MetaInfo metaInfo = prov.getMetaInfo();
+Set<String> keys = metaInfo.keySet();  // returns the attribute keys, for 
which meta-information is accessible.
+String metaData = metaInfo.get("a.b.c.value"); // access meta information
+String itemName = metaInfo.getName(); // access meta information for the 
provider
+--------------------------------------------
+
+As we have seen above there is as well a +MetaInfoBuilder+, which must be used 
to create instances of
++MetaInfo+.
+
+==== Mutability
+
+Property providers optionally may be mutable. This can be checked by calling 
+boolean isMutable()+. If a provider
+is mutable a +ConfigChangeSet+ can be passed. This change set can then be 
applied by the provider. On creation
+of the +ConfigChangeSetBuilder+ a provider can pass version information, so 
_optimistic locking_ can be implemented
+easily:
+
+[source,java]
+.Creating and applying a +ConfigChangeSet+ to a provider
+--------------------------------------------
+PropertyProvider prov = ...;
+ConfigChangeSet changeSet = ConfigChangeSetBuilder.of(provider)  // creating a 
default version
+   .remove("key1ToBeRemoved", +key2ToBeRemoved")
+   .put("key2", "key2Value")
+   .put("key3", 12345)

+[[API CombineProviders]]
+==== Combining Property Providers
+
+Looking at the structures of configuration system used by large companies we 
typically encounter some kind of configuration
+hierarchies that are combined in arbitrary ways. Users of the systems are 
typically not aware of the complexities in this
+area, since they simply know the possible locations, formats and the 
overriding policies. Framework providers on the other
+side must face the complexities and it would be very useful if Tamaya can 
support here by providing prebuilt functionality
+that helps implementing these aspects. All this leads to the feature set of 
combining property providers. Hereby the following
+strategies are useful:
+
+* aggregating providers, hereby later providers added
+  ** override any existing entries from earlier providers
+  ** combine conflicting entries from earlier providers, e.g. into a 
comma-separated structure.
+  ** may throw a ConfigExcepotion ig entries are conflicting
+  ** may only add entries not yet defined by former providers, preventing 
entries that are already present to be overwritte
+  ** any custom aggregation strategy, which may be a mix of above
+* intersecting providers
+* subtracting providers
+* filtering providers
+
+These common functionality is provided by the +PropertyProviders+ singleton. 
Additionally to the base strategies above a +MetaInfo+
+instance can be passed optionally as well to define the meta information for 
the newly created provider instances.
+Let's assume we have two property providers with the following data:
+
+[source,properties]
+.Provider 1
+--------------------------------------------
+a=a
+b=b
+c=c
+g=g
+h=h
+i=i
+--------------------------------------------
+
+[source,properties]
+.Provider 2
+--------------------------------------------
+a=A
+b=B
+c=C
+d=D
+e=E
+f=F
+--------------------------------------------
+
+Looking in detail you see that the entries +a,b,c+ are present in both 
providers, whereas +d,e,f+ are only present in provider 1,
+and +g,h,i+ only in provider 2.
+
+[source,java]
+.Example Combining PropertyProviders
+--------------------------------------------
+PropertyProvider provider1 = ...
+PropertyProvider provider2 = ...
+
+// aggregate, hereby values from provider 2 override values from provider 1
+PropertyProvider unionOverriding = 
PropertyProviders.aggregate(AggregationPolicy.OVERRIDE(), provider1, provider2);
+System.out.println("unionOverriding: " + unionOverriding);
+
+// ignore duplicates, values present in provider 1 are not overriden by 
provider 2
+PropertyProvider unionIgnoringDuplicates = 
PropertyProviders.aggregate(AggregationPolicy.IGNORE_DUPLICATES(), provider1, 
provider2);
+System.out.println("unionIgnoringDuplicates: " + unionIgnoringDuplicates);
+
+// this variant combines/maps duplicate values into a new value
+PropertyProvider unionCombined = 
PropertyProviders.aggregate(AggregationPolicy.COMBINE(), provider1, provider2);
+System.out.println("unionCombined: " + unionCombined);
+
+// This variant throws an exception since there are key/value paris in both 
providers, but with different values
+try{
+    PropertyProviders.aggregate(AggregationPolicy.EXCEPTION(), provider1, 
provider2);
+}
+catch(ConfigException e){
+    // expected!
+}
+--------------------------------------------
+
+The example above produces the following outpout:
+
+[source,listing]
+.Example Combining PropertyProviders
+--------------------------------------------
+AggregatedPropertyProvider{
+  (name = dynamicAggregationTests)
+  a = "[a][A]"
+  b = "[b][B]"
+  c = "[c][C]"
+  d = "[D]"
+  e = "[E]"
+  f = "[F]"
+  g = "[g]"
+  h = "[h]"
+  i = "[i]"
+}
+unionOverriding: AggregatedPropertyProvider{
+  (name = <noname>)
+  a = "A"
+  b = "B"
+  c = "C"
+  d = "D"
+  e = "E"
+  f = "F"
+  g = "g"
+  h = "h"
+  i = "i"
+}
+unionIgnoringDuplicates: AggregatedPropertyProvider{
+  (name = <noname>)
+  a = "a"
+  b = "b"
+  c = "c"
+  d = "D"
+  e = "E"
+  f = "F"
+  g = "g"
+  h = "h"
+  i = "i"
+}
+unionCombined: AggregatedPropertyProvider{
+  (name = <noname>)
+  a = "a,A"
+  b = "b,B"
+  c = "c,C"
+  d = "D"
+  e = "E"
+  f = "F"
+  g = "g"
+  h = "h"
+  i = "i"
+}
+--------------------------------------------
+
+No +AggregationPolicy+ is also an interface that can be implemented:
+
+[source,java]
+.AggregationPolicy Interface
+--------------------------------------------
+@FunctionalInterface
+public interface AggregationPolicy {
+    String aggregate(String key, String value1, String value2);
+}
+--------------------------------------------
+
+So we can also define our own aggregation strategy using a Lambda expression:
+
+[source,java]
+.Use a Custom AggregationPolicy
+--------------------------------------------
+PropertyProvider provider1 = ...;
+PropertyProvider provider2 = ...;
+PropertyProvider props = PropertyProviders.aggregate(
+      (k, v1, v2) -> (v1 != null ? v1 : "") + '[' + v2 + "]",
+      MetaInfo.of("dynamicAggregationTests"),
+      props1, props2);
+System.out.println(props);
+--------------------------------------------
+
+Additionally we also pass here an instance of +MetaInfo+. The output of this 
code snippet is as follows:
+
+[source,listing]
+.Listing of dynamic aggregation policy
+--------------------------------------------
+AggregatedPropertyProvider{
+  (name = dynamicAggregationTests)
+  a = "[a][A]"
+  b = "[b][B]"
+  c = "[c][C]"
+  d = "[D]"
+  e = "[E]"
+  f = "[F]"
+  g = "[g]"
+  h = "[h]"
+  i = "[i]"
+}
+--------------------------------------------
+
+Summarizing the +PropertyProviders+ singleton allows to combine providers in 
various forms:

+[source,listing]

Map<String, String> parentMap) {
+    public static PropertyProvider replacing(PropertyProvider mainMap, 
Map<String, String> replacementMap) {
+}
+--------------------------------------------
+
+
+[[API Configuration]]
+=== Configuration
+==== Basic Model
+
+Configuration inherits all basic features from +PropertyProvider+, but 
additionally adds functionality for
+type safety and extension mechanisms:
+
+[source,java]
+.Interface Configuration
+--------------------------------------------
+public interface Configuration extends PropertyProvider{
+
+    default OptionalBoolean getBoolean(String key);
+    default OptionalInt getInteger(String key);
+    default OptionalLong getLong(String key);
+    default OptionalDouble getDouble(String key);
+    default <T> Optional<T> getAdapted(String key, PropertyAdapter<T> adapter);
+    <T> Optional<T> get(String key, Class<T> type);
+
+    // accessing areas
+    default Set<String> getAreas();
+    default Set<String> getTransitiveAreas();
+    default Set<String> getAreas(final Predicate<String> predicate);
+    default Set<String> getTransitiveAreas(Predicate<String> predicate);
+    default boolean containsArea(String key);
+
+    // extension points
+    default Configuration with(ConfigOperator operator);
+    default <T> T query(ConfigQuery<T> query);
+
+    // versioning
+    default String getVersion(){return "N/A";}
+    void addPropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener l);
+    void removePropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener l);
+
+    // singleton accessors
+    public static boolean isDefined(String name);
+    public static <T> T current(String name, Class<T> template);
+    public static Configuration current(String name);
+    public static Configuration current();
+    public static <T> T current(Class<T> type){
+    public static void configure(Object instance);
+    public static String evaluateValue(String expression);
+    public static String evaluateValue(Configuration config, String 
expression);
+    public static void addGlobalPropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener 
listener);
+    public static void 
removeGlobalPropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener listener);
+}
+--------------------------------------------
+
+Hereby
+
+* +XXX getXXX(String)+ provide type safe accessors for all basic wrapper types 
of the JDK.
+* +getAdapted+ allow accessing any type, hereby also passing a 
+PropertyAdapter+ that converts
+  the configured literal value to the type required.
+* +getAreas()+, +getTransitiveAreas()+ allow to examine the hierarchical tree 
modeled by the configuration tree.
+  Optionally also predicates can be passed to select only part of the tree to 
be returned.
+* +containsArea+ allows to check, if an area is defined.
+* +with, query+ provide the extension points for adding additional 
functionality.
+
+* the static accessor methods define:
+  ** +current(), current(Class), current(String), current(String, Class)+ 
return the configuration valid for the current runtime environment.
+  ** +addPropertyChangeListener, removePropertyChangeListener+ allow to 
register or unregister
+     global config change listener instances.
+  ** evaluateValue allows to evaluate a configuration expression based on a 
given configuration.
+  ** +configure+ performs injection of configured values.
+
+[[TypeConversion]]
+==== Type Conversion
+
+Configuration extend +PropertyProvider+ and add additional support for non 
String types. This is achieved
+with the help of +PropertyAdapter+ instances:
+
+[source,java]
+.PropertyAdapter
+--------------------------------------------
+@FunctionalInterface
+public interface PropertyAdapter<T>{
+    T adapt(String value);
+}
+--------------------------------------------
+
+PropertyAdapter instances can be implemented manually or registered and 
accessed from the
++PropertyAdapers+ singleton. Hereby the exact mechanism is determined by the 
API backing up the singleton.
+By default corresponding +PropertyAdapter+ instances can be registered using 
the Java +ServiceLoader+
+mechanism, or programmatically ba calling the +register(Class, 
PropertyAdapter)+ method.
+
+[source,java]
+--------------------------------------------
+public final class PropertyAdapters{
+    public static <T> PropertyAdapter<T> register(Class<T> targetType, 
PropertyAdapter<T> adapter);
+    public static boolean isTargetTypeSupported(Class<?> targetType);
+    public static  <T> PropertyAdapter<T> getAdapter(Class<T> targetType);
+    public static  <T> PropertyAdapter<T> getAdapter(Class<T> targetType, 
WithPropertyAdapter annotation);
+}
+--------------------------------------------
+
+Whereas this mechanism per se looks not very useful it's power shows up when 
combining it with the annotations
+API provided, e.g. look at the following annotated class:
+
+[source,java]
+.Annotated Example Class
+--------------------------------------------
+public class ConfiguredClass{
+
+    @ConfiguredProperty
+    private String testProperty;
+
+    @ConfiguredProperty("a.b.c.key1")
+    @DefaultValue("The current \\${JAVA_HOME} env property is 
${env:JAVA_HOME}.")
+    String value1;
+
+    @ConfiguredProperty("a.b.c.key2")
+    private int value2;
+
+    @ConfiguredProperty
+    @DefaultValue("http://127.0.0.1:8080/res/api/v1/info.json";)
+    private URL accessUrl;
+
+    @ConfiguredProperty
+    @DefaultValue("5")
+    private Integer int1;
+
+    @ConfiguredProperty("a.b.customType")
+    private MyCustomType myCustomType;
+
+    @ConfiguredProperty("BD")
+    private BigDecimal bigNumber;
+
+    ...
+}
+--------------------------------------------
+
+The class does not show all the possibilities that are provided, but it shows 
that arbitrary types can be supported easily.
+This applied similarly to collection types, whereas collections are more 
advanced and therefore described in a separate section
+later.
+
+Given the class above and the current configuration can provide the values 
required, configuring an instance of the
+class is simple:
+
+[source,java]
+.Configuring the Example Class
+--------------------------------------------
+ConfiguredClass classInstance = new ConfiguredClass();
+Configuration.configure(configuredClass);
+--------------------------------------------
+
+Additional types can transparently be supported by implementing and 
registering corresponding SPI instances. This is explained
+in the SPI documentation of {name}.
+
+==== Extension Points
+
+We are well aware of the fact that this library will not be able to cover all 
kinds of use cases. Therefore
+we have added similar functional extension mechanisms that were used in other 
areas of the Java eco-system as well:
+
+* +ConfigOperator+ define unary operations on +Configuration+. They can be 
used for filtering, implementing
+  configuration views, security interception etc.
+* +ConfigQuery+ defines a function returning any kind of result based on a 
configuration instance. Typical
+  use cases of queries could be the implementation of configuration SPI 
instances that are required
+  by other libraries or frameworks.
+
+Both interfaces hereby are defined as functional interfaces:
+
+[source,java]
+.ConfigOperator and ConfigQuery
+--------------------------------------------
+@FunctionalInterface
+public interface ConfigOperator{
+    Configuration operate(Configuration config);
+}
+
+@FunctionalInterface
+public interface ConfigQuery<T>{
+    T query(Configuration config);
+}
+--------------------------------------------
+
+Both interfaces can be applied on a +Configuration+ instance:
+
+[source,java]
+.Applying Config operators and queries
+--------------------------------------------
+Configuration secured = Configuration.of().apply(ConfigSecurity::secure);
+ConfigSecurity securityContext = 
Configuration.of().query(ConfigSecurity::targetSecurityContext);
+--------------------------------------------
+
+NOTE: +ConfigSecurity+ is an arbitrary class.
+
+=== Configuration Injection
+
+The +Configuration+ interface provides static methods that allow to anykind of 
instances be configured
+ny just passing the instances calling +Configuration.configure(instance);+. 
The classes passed hereby must
+be annotated with +@ConfiguredProperty+ to define the configured properties. 
Hereby this annotation can be
+used in multiple ways and combined with other annotations such as 
+@DefaultValue+,
++@WithLoadPolicy+, +@WithConfig+, +@WithConfigOperator+, 
+@WithPropertyAdapter+.
+
+To illustrate the mechanism below the most simple variant of a configured 
class is given:
+
+[source,java]
+.Most simple configured class
+--------------------------------------------
+pubic class ConfiguredItem{
+  @ConfiguredProperty
+  private String aValue;
+}
+--------------------------------------------
+
+When this class is configured, e.g. by passing it to 
+Configuration.configure(Object)+,
+the following is happening:
+
+* The current valid +Configuration+ is evaluated by calling +Configuration cfg 
= Configuration.of();+
+* The current property value (String) is evaluated by calling 
+cfg.get("aValue");+
+* if not successful, an error is thrown (+ConfigException+)
+* On success, since no type conversion is involved, the value is injected.
+* The configured bean is registered as a weak change listener in the config 
system's underlying
+  configuration, so future config changes can be propagated (controllable by 
applying the
+  +@WithLoadPolicy+ annotation).
+
+In the next example we explicitly define the property value:
+[source,java]
+--------------------------------------------
+pubic class ConfiguredItem{
+
+  @ConfiguredProperty
+  @ConfiguredProperty("a.b.value")
+  @configuredProperty("a.b.deprecated.value")
+  @DefaultValue("${env:java.version}")
+  private String aValue;
+}
+--------------------------------------------
+
+Within this example we evaluate multiple possible keys. Evaluation is aborted 
if a key could be successfully
+resolved. Hereby the ordering of the annotations define the ordering of 
resolution, so in the example above
+resolution equals to +"aValue", "a.b.value", "a.b.deprecated.value"+. If no 
value could be read
+from the configuration, it uses the value from the +@DefaultValue+ annotation. 
Interesting here
+is that this value is not static, it is evaluated by calling 
+Configuration.evaluateValue(Configuration, String)+.
+
+=== Environment
+
+The environment basically is also a kind of property/value provider similar to 
+System.getProperties()+ and +System
+.getenv()+ in the JDK. Nevertheless it provides additional functionality:
+
+[source,java]
+.Interface Environment
+--------------------------------------------
+public interface Environments {
+
+    String getEnvironmentType();
+    String getEnvironmentId();
+    Environment getParentEnvironment();
+
+    Optional<String> get(String key);
+    boolean containsKey(String key);
+    Set<String> keySet();
+    Map<String,String> toMap();
+
+    public static Environment current(){
+    public static Environment getRootEnvironment(){
+    public static List<String> getEnvironmentTypeOrder(){
+    public static List<String> getEnvironmentHierarchy(){
+    public static Optional<Environment> getInstance(String environmentType, 
String contextId){
+    public static Set<String> getEnvironmentContexts(String environmentType){
+    public static boolean isEnvironmentActive(String environmentType){
+--------------------------------------------
+
+* environments are hierarchical. Hereby all environments inherit from the root 
environment. The root environment
+  hereby must contain
+  ** all JDK's system properties, with same keys, values
+  ** all JDK's environment properties, prefixed with +env:+.
+  ** additional root properties are allowed as well.
+* the root environment is always directly accessible by calling 
+Environment.getRootEnvironment()+
+* the current environment can be accessed by calling +Environment.of()+.
+* each environment also defines a +Stage+ (implementing +StageSupplier+). 
Hereby, if not set explicitly the +Stage+ is inherited from the root
+  environment. Consequently the root environment must provide a +Stage+, which 
by default is +Stage.development()+.
+
+Additionally each environment instance is uniquely identified by the 
environment type (accessible from
++getEnvironmentType()+ and the environment id (accessible from 
+getEnvironmentId()+). So it is possible to access
+an +Environment+ by calling +of(String environmentType, String 
environmentId)+. Implementations may restrict access
+to environments depending on the current runtime environment (runtime context) 
active. The API does
+not require further aspects.
+
+The call to +getEnvironmentIds(String)+ returns all context ids of the known 
+Environment+ instances
+of a given type. E.g. assuming there is an environment type +war+ calling 
+Environment.getEnvironmentIds("war")+
+may return +"/web/app1", "/web/app2"+ (assuming the war context ids equal the 
web applications root contexts).
+
+All environments are basically ordered. The ordering can be accessed by 
calling +getEnvironmentTypeOrder()+. Hereby
+not every environment type in a hierarchy must necessarily present. This is 
reflected by +getEnvironmentHierarchy()+
+which returns the environment type ids in order, but only containing the types 
of the environments
+currently present and accessible in the hierarchy. As an example an 
environment type order in an advanced
+use case could be something like +"root","ear","war","saas","user"+, whereas 
the concrete environment type hierarchy
+may be +"root","war","saas"+, because the application was not included
+in an additional ear archive and no user is currently active (anonymous). The 
call to +isEnvironmentActive(String)+
+allows to determine if an environment of the given type is currently active.
+Finally the environment hierarchy is of course similarly reflected by the 
relationship (+getParentEnvironment()+).
+The following code should illustrate some of these concepts:
+
+[source,java]
+.Interface Environment
+--------------------------------------------
+List<String> envHierarchy = Environment.getEnvironmentHierarchy();
+  // -> "root","war","saas"
+Environment env = Environment.of();
+System.out.println(env.getEnvironmentContext()); // saas
+System.out.println(env.getEnvironmentId());      // mysolution_pro
+env = env.getParentEnvironment();
+System.out.println(env.getEnvironmentContext()); // war
+System.out.println(env.getEnvironmentId());      // pro
+env = env.getParentEnvironment();
+System.out.println(env.getEnvironmentContext()); // root
+System.out.println(env.getEnvironmentId());      // system
+env = env.getParentEnvironment();
+// env is null now!

+[[CoreConcepts]]
+== {name} Core Implementation Concepts
+Tamaya comes with an implementation module that implements the Tamaya API. The 
API itself does only provide the API for configuration usage.
+Especially it does not define how the current runtime +Environment+ is mapped 
to a +Configuration+. This the gaop that should be solved
+by the core library.
+
+The high level packages give you a good overview of the functionality provided:
+
+* +org.apache.tamaya.core+ is the root package of the Tamaya core 
implementation.
+* +org.apache.tamaya.core.config+ provides
+
+
+
+The SPI contains the following core concepts/artifacts:
+
+* _Bootstrap_ is the delegate singleton that is used by the framework to 
resolve components. The effective component
+  loading can be accessed by implementing and registering an instance of 
+ServiceProvider+ using +java.util.ServiceLoader+.
+* All the singleton used explicitly (+PropertyAdapters,PropertyProviders+ are 
backed up corresponding API interfaces.
+  To override a singleton's behaviour the corresponding SPI has to be 
implemented and registered, so it can be loaded
+  by the current +Bootstrap+ setup (by default ServiceLoader based).
+* Also the singleton used implicitly by +Configuration, Environment, Stage+ 
are backed up corresponding SPI interfaces.
+  To override a singleton's behaviour the corresponding SPI has to be 
implemented and registered, so it can be loaded
+  by the current +Bootstrap+ setup (by default ServiceLoader based).
+
+This is also reflected in the main parts of the API, which is quite small:
+
+* +org.apache.tamaya+ contains the main abstractions +Configuration, 
ConfigOperator, ConfigQuery, PropertyAdapter, Stage,
+  Environment, PropertyProvider, MetaInfo+
+* +org.apache.tamaya.spi+ contains the SPI interfaces to be implemented by 
implementations and the +Bootstrap+ mechanism.
++ +org.apache.tamaya.annot+ contains the annotations defined.
