The requested configuration is changed usually by calling <a href="XConfigurationController.html#requestResourceActivation()">requestResourceActivation()</a> and <a href="XConfigurationController.html#requestResourceDeactivation()">requestResourceDeactivation()</a>.</li> </ul></p> <p>When the two configurations differ then the current configuration is updated eventually to reflect the requested configuration. An update takes place when the following three conditions are fullfilled. <ol> <li>when the last pending request for configuration changes has been processed,</li> <li>when the <a href="XConfigurationController.html#update()">update()</a> method is called.</li> <li>when the configuration manager it is unlocked after formerly being locked.</li> </ol></p> <p>Requests for configuration changes are handled in a two step process: <ol> <li>First the requested configuration is updated iteratively: Every request that is being made by calling <a href="XConfigurationController.html#requestResourceActivation()">requestResourceActivation()</a> or <a href="XConfigurationController.html#requestResourceDeactivation()">requestResourceDeactivation()</a> results in one or more function objects, that each implement the <a href="XConfigurationChangeRequest.html">XConfigurationChangeRequest</a> interface. These are inserted into a queue. The request objects in the queue are processed asynchronously one at a time in the order in which they are inserted. Only when one request object is processed a change to the requested configuration is made. These changes are broadcasted to registered <a href="XConfigurationChangeListener.html">XConfigurationChangeListener</a> objects. Listeners may decide to make requests that then are added to the queue. For example when the view in the center pane is replaced by another view, some listeners may want to turn some side panes on or off, or show other views in the side panes.</p> <p>This process goes on until the queue of request objects becomes empty. Until this point only the requested configuration has been modified. No resources have been activated or deactivated.</p></li> <li><p>The second update step activates or deactivates resources so that the current configuration (the one that comprises the actually active resources) reflects the requested configuration.</p> <p>The order in which resources are activated or deactivated depends on the dependency between the resources. For example a view depends on the pane it is displayed in. Resources that other resources depend on are activated first and deactivated last. The order is undefined for unrelated resources.</p> <p>Note that the second update step may not be able to activate (or even to deactivate) all the requested resources. Either because they are temporarily or permanently unavailable. For example, during the start-up of a new Impress application the side panes are displayed with a visible delay because they are not provided sooner by the underlying framework. Such anavailable resources are not forgotten but remain in the requested configuration. Every time the configuration controller updates its current configuration these resources are requested once more.</li></ol></p> <p>The configuration controller sends the following events: <ul> <li><b>ResourceActivationRequested</b> is sent when the activation of a resource has been requested and the resource is not yet active in the requested configuration. The event is sent when the configuration change request is executed, not when the <a href="XConfigurationController.html#requestResourceActivation()">requestResourceActivation()</a> call is made.</p> <p>The <a href="XConfigurationController.html#ResourceId">ResourceId</a> member is set to the requested resource. The <a href="XConfigurationController.html#ResourceObject">ResourceObject</a> member is not set.</p></li> <li><b>ResourceDeactivationRequested</b> is sent when the deactivation of a resource has been requested and the resource is active in the requested configuration.
