:: com :: sun :: star :: configuration ::
service SimpleSetAccess
Description provides access to a dynamic, homogeneous, nonhierarchical set of values or objects. Also provides information about the template for elements. Allows normalizing externally generated names. Sets are dynamic containers. The number and names of contained elements is not fixed in advance, but all elements have to be of one predetermined type.

Exported Interfaces
::com::sun::star::container::XNameAccess | Description is the basic service for accessing child and descendent nodes. External names from foreign namespaces should be normalized using ::com::sun::star::util::XStringEscape::escapeString() , if available, before using them as element names.
XTemplateContainer | [ OPTIONAL ] Description provides additional information about the element type. [optional] All set elements, if they are not just simple values, but whole trees, must have a predetermined structure (their type ) that is described by and can be generated from a template . The semantics of the information provided about the template depends on the implementation. This interface may be missing, if the implementation can support only one predefined type or if the elements are of a simple type and no further information is available. In the latter case, ::com::sun::star::container::XElementAccess::getElementType() provides all the information there is about the element's type.
::com::sun::star::util::XStringEscape | [ OPTIONAL ] Description allows normalizing and denormalizing external names. [optional] Elements of a set often correspond to external entities, for example, files, web pages, and people whose names obey different rules and restrictions than names that are valid in the hierarchical naming scheme. This interface may be missing if there are no naming restrictions, if the implementation handles any such conversions internally, or if clients must enforce such restrictions themselves. In the last case, the naming scheme documentation must fully document any restrictions.
::com::sun::star::container::XContainer | [ OPTIONAL ] Description allows attaching listeners to this node to monitor changes to the set. [optional] This interface may be missing if the implementation does not support notifications.
