Body:
Please let us know what you intend to do. If you want to remove the method
from the interface and try to make people use a service to manage contributions
to a configuration, that's cool with me, as it's probably cleaner. Anyway, I
am writing my TSS article now, so it'd be nice to have the code in my article
in sync with the current API. :-) Thanks!

Key: HIVEMIND-11
Summary: getConfiguration missing from Registry Interface
Type: Bug
Status: Open
Priority: Major
Project: HiveMind
Components:
framework
Versions:
1.0

Reporter: Achim H�gen

Description:
The getConfiguration method is no longer present in the registry interface but
has been moved to RegistryInfrastructure.
That change made dealing with the registry unintuitive, retrieving a
configuration requires some good guesswork, especially since the documentation
is not uptodate.
Let's have a look how the documentation must change, this reveals some of the
difficulties. Current documentation:
Registry registry = . . .;
List elements = registry.getConfiguration("com.myco.MyConfig");
Simple and clean. Instead we need a reference to RegistryInfrastructure.
Only solution is a cast:
List elements = ( (RegistryInfrastructure) registry
).getConfiguration("com.myco.MyConfig");
Besides beeing unintuitive, there is no contract, that ensures that the
Registry object additionally implements RegistryInfrastructure!
IMHO, dealing with two different interfaces for the most basic tasks is no good
idea.
Howard, you already admitted on the mailing list, that you 'probably have been
overly zealous in removing getConfiguration()'
Please restore the method.
