-/**
- * This class is used to synchronize signaling of status between threads.
- * <p>
- * In complex multi-threaded applications it is often necessary to synchronize operations between threads. This is
- * especially true in complex algorithms where processing dependencies exist between different threads and the
- * synchronization of the operations of those threads is required. This class is a framework to enable multi-thread
- * signaling and wait/post logic that makes the thread synchronization easier.
- * </p>
- * <p>
- * Basically, in thread synchronization, one thread is the "waiter" and one or more other threads are the "notifiers".
- * The notifiers send signals to the waiter to inform that thread that certain conditions are true, processing has been
- * completed, or to inform the waiter of the state of the other thread(s). In the basic java framework, the waiter and
- * notifier are simply using the wait/notify mechanism provided, which does not allow for different conditions, state,
- * or "signals" to exist. The wait/notify mechanism, in combination with the object mutex, provides basic blocking and
- * releasing of a thread's dispatching state.
- * </p>
- * <p>
- * This class builds upon the java wait/notify mechanism and allows for "signals" to be defined. These signals are
- * simply string constants that mean something to the waiter and notifier threads. Any number of signals may be defined,
- * and it is possible to wait for more than one signal to be received, wait for any one of a set to be received, or to
- * test if a signal has been received without blocking.
- * </p>
- * <p>
- * Some operations are blocking operations. These stop the execution of the calling thread until the specified condition
- * is true. These blocking methods are all named "wait...", such as {@link #waitFor(String...)} and
- * {@link #waitForAny(String...)}. The thread making the call to these blocking methods MUST be the waiter thread (the
- * thread registered with the signal object).
- * </p>
- * <p>
- * Some operations are non-blocking. These operations allow for the testing or setting of signal conditions and do not
- * block the caller. When calling these methods ({@link #isSignaled(String)}, {@link #signal(String)}, and
- * {@link #setTimeout(long)} the waiter thread mutex will be held and may block the waiter thread for the duration of
- * the method call.
- * </p>

-/**
- * The configuration factory is used to obtain access to an already created and initialized singleton configuration
- * object as well as to create and initialize the singleton if not already set up.
- * <p>
- * This class is responsible for the creation of the configuration object used to manage the configuration of the
- * application. The configuration object implementation must implement the <code>Configuration</code> interface. This
- * allows for the factory to create different specializations in the future if needed and not break any application
- * code.
- * </p>
- * <p>
- * The configuration object is basically a wrapper around a properties object. The configuration is therefore specified
- * as a set of properties that are loaded and processed from different sources with different precedences. It is
- * important that the configuration object always be able to supply default values for any configuration properties that
- * must be supplied, and not rely on the user always supplying these values. This also relieves the application itself
- * from having to interpret missing or invalid properties and applying defaults. By having all of the defaults in one
- * place, the application code can be simpler (not having to worry about defaults or invalid properties), and the
- * defaults can be changed much easier (they are all in one place and not distributed throughout the codebase).
- * </p>
- * <p>
- * Since the configuration is managed as a property object, we can use a characteristic of the <code>Properties</code>
- * class to our advantage. Namely, if we put a property into a <code>Properties</code> object that already exists, the
- * <code>Properties</code> object replaces it with the new value. This does not affect any other properties that may
- * already be defined in the properties object. This gives us the ability to initialize the properties with default
- * values for all of the application settings, then override just those that we need to override, possibly from multiple
- * sources and in increasing order of precedence.
- * </p>
- * <p>
- * This means that properties are in effect "merged" together from multiple sources in a prescribed precedence order. In
- * fact, the precedence order that this factory implements is defined as:
- * </p>
- * <ol>
- * <li>Default values from a system resource file.</li>
- * <li>User-supplied properties file, if any.</li>
- * <li>Application-supplied properties, if any.</li>
- * <li>Command-line properties (if any)</li>
- * </ol>
- * <p>
- * The name and location of the properties file that is loaded can also be set, either in the defaults, overridden by
- * the system command line via -D, or as a system environment variable. There are two properties that can be specified
- * to define the name and path. These are:
- * </p>
- * <dl>
- * <dt>org.onap.appc.bootstrap.file</dt>
- * <dd>This property defines the name of the file that will be loaded. If not specified, the default value is
- * "appc.properties". This can be specified in either (or both) the default properties or the command line. The command
- * line specification will always override.</dd>
- * <dt>org.onap.appc.bootstrap.path</dt>
- * <dd>This is a comma-delimited (,) path of directories to be searched to locate the specified file. The first
- * occurrence of the file is the one loaded, and no additional searching is performed. The path can be specified in
- * either, or both, the default values and the command line specification. If specified on the command line, the value
- * overrides the default values. If omitted, the default path is <code>$/opt/openecomp/appc/data/properties,${user.home},.</code></dd>
- * </dl>

-<title>Configuration</title>
-</head>
-
-<body>
-  <p style="margin-left: 30.0px;">
-    CDP Configuration support is provided by a common framework to load
-    and manage configuration properties from multiple sources. The basic
-    concept is to load a set of default properties from a known resource
-    file located on the class path, and then override these defaults
-    with optional settings that can be provided by a user through either
-    additional property files or via the command line (as VM arguments).
-    The loading of defaults from a resource property file (named <strong>com/att/cdp/default.properties</strong>)
-    ensures that values are defined for properties the application needs
-    in order to operate.
-  </p>
-  <p style="margin-left: 30.0px;">
-    One of these default values that can be set is the name of the
-    property file that allows the user to supply settings, as well as
-    the path where the file can be found. In general, the default name
-    of the property file will be &quot;<strong>cdp.properties</strong>&quot;,
-    and the path that will be searched is &quot;<strong>${user.home};etc;../etc</strong>&quot;.
-    However, these values can be changed through the use of the
-    default.properties resource file. The property that specifies the
-    property file name is named <strong>com.att.cdp.bootstrap.file</strong>,
-    while the property named <strong>com.att.cdp.bootstrap.path</strong>
-    specifies the search path.
-  </p>
-  <p style="margin-left: 30.0px;">
-    After the default.properties are loaded, but prior to searching for
-    the application configuration file, the configuration factory checks
-    for properties <strong>com.att.cdp.bootstrap.path</strong> and <strong>com.att.cdp.bootstrap.file
-    </strong>in the System properties object (meaning they were set by the
-    command line). If these values are defined in the system properties
-    object, they are used. If not, these values are obtained from the
-    default properties just loaded. This allows the specification of
-    either the file name or path, or both, to be overridden during start
-    up by using command-line arguments.
-  </p>
-  <p style="margin-left: 30.0px;">The search path is scanned for the
-    first occurrence of the specified property file. The first
-    occurrence is loaded and scanning is stopped at that point. The
-    configuration factory does not load all occurrences it finds, only
-    the first occurrence it finds.</p>
-  <p style="margin-left: 30.0px;">The configuration properties are
-    loaded and processed according to a defined precedence order, such
-    that properties defined with a higher precedence override the same
-    property at a lower precedence. The precedence order is defined as
-    follows:</p>
-  <h2>Precedence Order</h2>
-  <ol>
-    <li>Default properties are initially loaded into the
-      configuration. These default properties are the lowest level
-      precedence, and will be overridden by any properties specified at
-      higher levels. These are loaded from resources that are packaged
-      as part of the various application components. Each component
-      (Server, Coordinator, EPM, or CLI) may have different default
-      properties. The default properties are loaded from a resource
-      named <strong>com/att/cdp/default.properties</strong>. The default
-      properties can specify the name of the application property file
-      to be used to configure the application, as well as the path to
-      search. Additionally, these properties can be supplied via the
-      command line to override the default settings if needed.<br /> <br />
-    </li>
-    <li>The configuration factory allows for the application to
-      supply an initial properties object to initialize the
-      configuration. This properties object could be loaded or created
-      in any way necessary for the application. This is totally up to
-      the application to define, if it is needed. If no
-      application-specific property object is supplied, this step is
-      skipped. If a property object is supplied, it is used to replace
-      or set any properties that may have been defined by the defaults.<br />
-      <br />
-    </li>
-    <li>The configuration factory will then search for a bootstrap
-      file on a bootstrap path. The actual bootstrap file name and path
-      can be specified as properties on the command line, or will
-      default to a file name of <strong>cdp.properties</strong> and a
-      path of <strong>${user.home};etc;../etc</strong>. If desired, the
-      user can specify the exact name of the property file to be loaded
-      as well as the path using <strong>-Dcom.att.cdp.bootstrap.file=&lt;filename&gt;</strong>
-      and <strong>-Dcom.att.cdp.bootstrap.path=&lt;path&gt;</strong>.
-      These properties are set to default values by the default
-      properties loaded in step #1 above. The first occurrence of a
-      property file is the file loaded and used. Any other occurrences
-      are not processed.<br /> <br />
-    </li>
-    <li>The System properties are then merged into the
-      configuration. This allows the highest level of precedence,
-      command-line VM arguments (-D<strong>name=value</strong>) to be
-      merged into the configuration property object. These settings
-      override all lower level settings of the same name, as well as
-      merge all system properties into the configuration object.
-    </li>
-  </ol>
-  <h2>Variables</h2>
-  <p style="margin-left: 30.0px;">
-    The configuration support allows for variables to be inserted into
-    any property that is defined. Variables are named using the format <strong>${name}</strong>,
-    where the &quot;name&quot; is the name of a property that is defined
-    in the configuration, or a system property (such as <strong>user.home</strong>).
-    Variables can nest, such that a variable can be replaced with
-    another variable, which is then reevaluated to obtain the value.
-    This allows for indirection as well as variable substitution, if
-    needed.
-  </p>
-  <h2>Using the Configuration Support</h2>
-  <p style="margin-left: 30.0px;">
-    The configuration support was designed to be easy to use. The
-    configuration implementation is abstracted away from the application
-    so that it could be changed easily in the future if needed, or if we
-    needed to load different implementations for different reasons. This
-    means that the application always accesses the configuration through
-    an interface, named <strong>Configuration</strong>. The
-    implementation of that configuration interface is obtained by a
-    static method on the <strong>ConfigurationFactory</strong> class.
-    The configuration factory will both create the configuration if not
-    already created on the first access, as well as return the current
-    configuration if already created. Additionally, the
-    ConfigurationFactory provides mechanisms to recreate the
-    configuration after the application is initialized should the need
-    arise to update its configuration.
-  </p>
-  <p style="margin-left: 30.0px;">An example of the code needed to
-    obtain access to the configuration is:</p>
-  <pre style="margin-left: 30.0px;">Configuration config = ConfigurationFactory.getConfiguration();</pre>
-  <p style="margin-left: 30.0px;">Please refer to the javadoc or the
-    source code in cdp-common for other ways that the configuration and
-    configuration factory can be used.</p>
-  <h2>Reloading Properties</h2>
-  <p style="margin-left: 30.0px;">The configuration support allows
-    for properties to be re-loaded and re-evaluated after the
-    application is running. This is designed to allow a configuration to
-    be refreshed should the need arise. This could allow on-demand
-    refresh (via a command, for example), or automatically based on
-    sensing a change in the configuration file.</p>
-  <p style="margin-left: 30.0px;">
-    When the <strong>ConfigurationFactory</strong> method <strong>getConfiguration(Propert</strong><strong>ies)</strong>
-    is called, the current configuration is cleared and rebuilt using
-    the process defined above. The supplied property object is used in
-    step #2 of the process. While the properties are being re-built, no
-    access to the properties are allowed. Any attempt to access
-    properties while the re-build operation is in effect will block the
-    caller until completed. This is accomplished using read and write
-    shared locks.
-  </p>
