<panckoucke>'s children Name    Cardinality    Required storeManager 1 No modelProvider 1 No notificationRegistry 1 No gestaltRegistry 1 No representationRegistry 1 No renderer M No abstractor M No loadMap M No

the only valid value is the actual panckoucke version

registeres a new Gestalt with the given id in the GestaltRegistry

<gestalt>'s attributes
Name		Value		Required
id		ID		Yes

This element has no children

the id of this gestalt (you need to implement a custom Abstractor to male use of custom gestalten)

Possible values : ID - required : Yes

defines the GestaltRegistry implementation used

<gestaltRegistry>'s children Name    Cardinality    Required gestalt M No

<gestaltRegistry>'s attributes Name    Value    Required clazz CDATA Yes

fixed to org.tm4j.panckoucke.api.model.AMGestaltRegistry, this will be changed later

Possible values : CDATA - required : Yes

can be used to set a member of a class (in other word, this works as a JavaBean Property Set Mechanism)

Example :

	
  <member name="color" value="red"/>
	would be interpreted as setColor("red");
	<member name="modelFactory" type="org.tm4j.panckoucke.impl.model.AModelFactoryImpl"/> 
	would be interpreted as setModelFactory(new AModelFactoryImpl());

the properties attribute defines the source for the basic properties
valid are empty, system or a file name where
- system: the system Properties will be used as basic properties
- empty: a new Properties object will be created
- anything else: will be interpreted as the name of a properties file. These file will be loaded into a new Properties object

Possible values : CDATA - required : Yes

used to add a property to the properties object of the sourrounding TopicMapProvider
this is equivalent to the java call [some properties object].setProperty("name", "value");

this tag can be used to load TopicMaps into the standart TopicMapProvider of the StoreManager
the standart Provider depends on the implementation of the StoreManager
(usually this tag will be used to load a TopicMap from an XTM or LTM file into an InMemoryProvider
