File lua/PropRepository.lua

Repository which provides read and write access to stored property sets. Currently, only a file based repository is implemented. However, it is planned to use the same interface to provide access to property sets that are stored, e.g., in a data base or that are provided via a web service etc. Such services can simply be implemented by providing the same interface as the one specified here.

Functions

_M:getPropSetData (name)	Return administrative information for a given property set.
_M:getPropSetList ()	Get a list of property sets available in the repository.
_M:loadPropSet (name)	Load property set from file.
_M:lockPropSet (name)	Read and lock property set for exclusive write access.
_M:new (dir)	Create new property repository.
_M:unlockPropSet (name)	Remove lock for exclusive write access.
_M:writePropSet (name, content)	Write content of property set.
