The configuration API is used by the [wiki:SipMiddlewareApi Middleware API] to store and read its settings. By managing the settings of the middleware through this configuration API one can create different applications that behave consistently and inherit the same settings. For example a command line client or a GUI program can read and write their settings through this API. In addition, the configuration API offers an extensibility framework, by which applications can add their specific settings which will be managed in the same way as the middleware settings. The settings are loaded and saved from/to persistent storage using a backend; a backend is provided which has a simple text file format.

The settings can be managed by API calls. The middleware settings have appropriate defaults so that it can function properly with a minimum amount of changes.

11 33 Luci Stanescu
Configuration API consists of the low-level classes that can be used for storing and retrieving configuration objects. Moreover, it allows the creation of a higher level API for accessing configuration items. The SIP SIMPLE settings are defined using this API, however application-specific settings can also make use of it in order to define a consistent view of all the settings, by either extending the settings objects defined in the middleware or creating new settings objects.
12 33 Luci Stanescu
13 33 Luci Stanescu
The module '''sipsimple.configuration''' contains the main classes of the configuration API. These are:
14 33 Luci Stanescu
15 33 Luci Stanescu
 * ConfigurationManager
16 33 Luci Stanescu
 * SettingsObject
17 33 Luci Stanescu
 * SettingsGroup
18 33 Luci Stanescu
 * Setting
19 33 Luci Stanescu
 * SettingsObjectExtension
20 33 Luci Stanescu
21 33 Luci Stanescu
In addition, the exceptions which make up this package are:
22 33 Luci Stanescu
23 33 Luci Stanescu
 * ConfigurationError (base class for all other configuration errors)
24 33 Luci Stanescu
 * ObjectNotFoundError
25 33 Luci Stanescu
26 39 Adrian Georgescu
The package '''sipsimple.configuration.backend''' contains the abstract interface for configuration backends, as well as concrete implementations of backends. This package is explained in more detail in [wiki:SipConfigurationAPI#BackendAPI Configuration Backend API].

=== ConfigurationManager ===
29 33 Luci Stanescu
30 33 Luci Stanescu
The central entity is the ConfigurationManager, which is used for storing and retrieving settings. Within the ConfigurationManager, settings can be represented in a hierarchical structure, where the root the of tree is the configuration ''document''. This structure is represented using a dictionary, defined recursively as:
31 33 Luci Stanescu
 * the keys of the dictionary are unicode objects
32 33 Luci Stanescu
 * the values of the dictionary can be:
33 33 Luci Stanescu
   * the None object (this represents a default value)
34 33 Luci Stanescu
   * unicode objects
35 33 Luci Stanescu
   * lists of unicode objects
36 33 Luci Stanescu
   * dictionaries using this specification
37 33 Luci Stanescu
An item in the dictionary with an unicode object or a list as the value is a single setting: the name of the item is the name of the setting. An item with a dictionary as the value is a group of settings: the name of the item is the name of the group. This dictionary representation is stored to a persistent storage and loaded using the configuration backend as explained in [wiki:SipConfigurationAPI#ConfigurationBackendAPI Configuration Backend API]. Any backend which is able to store and load such data can be used, but a simple [wiki:SipConfigurationAPI#FileBackend text file backend] is provided. After configuration data is loaded from the backend, it is saved on the ConfigurationManager and can be managed using its methods; in order to save the data using the backend provided, the {{{save}}} method needs to be called; any calls to {{{update}}} or {{{delete}}} will not ask the backend to store the data as well.
38 33 Luci Stanescu
39 33 Luci Stanescu
The ConfigurationManager class is a singleton to allow any part of the code to access it without the need to pass references. However, its '''start''' method needs to be called before it can be used. Once this is done, objects can be added, retrieved or deleted from the underlying storage; if using the [wiki:SipMiddlewareApi#SIPApplication SIPApplication] class, its start method takes care of this passing as the backend the one it receives as an argument. The methods of ConfigurationManager are:
40 33 Luci Stanescu
41 33 Luci Stanescu
 '''!__init!__'''(''self'')::
42 33 Luci Stanescu
 References to the ConfigurationManager instance can be obtained anytime without passing any arguments. However, it needs the manager needs to be started in order to be used, otherwise all methods will raise a RuntimeError.
43 33 Luci Stanescu
 '''start'''(''self'', '''backend''')::
44 33 Luci Stanescu
 The start method allows the ConfigurationManager instance to use the specified backend for accessing the underlying storage. See [wiki:SipConfigurationAPI#ConfigurationBackendAPI Configuration Backend API] for information on what the required interface for the passed object is. Raises a {{{ConfigurationBackendError}}} if the backend cannot load the configuration data from persistent storage.
45 33 Luci Stanescu
 '''update'''(''self'', '''group''', '''name''', '''data''')::
46 33 Luci Stanescu
 The partial {{{data}}} which must be a dictionary as formerly defined corresponding to an object having the specified name under the specified group. If {{{group}}} is {{{None}}}, the object will be saved top-level (its name will the a top-level key in the data dictionary). Note that changes will not be written to the underlying storage until the '''save''' method is called.
47 33 Luci Stanescu
 '''delete'''(''self'', '''group''', '''name''')::
48 33 Luci Stanescu
 If an object stored as {{{name}}} exists in {{{group}}}, then it will be deleted. If {{{group}}} is {{{None}}}, then the top-level object identified by {{{name}}} will be deleted.
49 33 Luci Stanescu
 '''get'''(''self'', '''group''', '''name''')::
50 33 Luci Stanescu
 Retrieves the object stored with {{{name}}} in {{{group}}}, if it exists. Otherwise, the method will raise an {{{ObjectNotFoundError}}}. If {{{group}}} is {{{None}}}, the top-level object identified by {{{name}}} will be retrieved.
51 33 Luci Stanescu
 '''get_names'''(''self'', '''group''')::
52 33 Luci Stanescu
 Returns a list with all the names of the objects in {{{group}}}. Returns an empty list if the group does not exist.
53 33 Luci Stanescu
 '''save'''(''self'')::
54 33 Luci Stanescu
 Flushes the changes made to the configuration to the backend. This method must be called to ensure that all changes have been written to persistent storage. Raises a {{{ConfigurationBackendError}}} if the backend cannot store the data to persistent storage. 
55 33 Luci Stanescu
56 33 Luci Stanescu
57 33 Luci Stanescu
=== SettingsObject ===
58 33 Luci Stanescu
59 33 Luci Stanescu
A SettingsObject is used to represent a hierarchy of settings, which are managed via the ConfigurationManager. There are two types of SettingsObject:
60 46 Luci Stanescu
 * SettingsObjects without an ID, i.e. there should be only one instance of this SettingsObject in an application. The application should define these objects using the {{{Singleton}}} metaclass. This also means that the object cannot be deleted. An example of such a SettingsObject is SIPSimpleSettings. These SettingsObjects are useful to represent global settings.
61 46 Luci Stanescu
 * SettingsObjects with an associated id. The instances are not necessarily persistent. New ones can be created and existing ones can be deleted. An example of such a SettingsObject is the Account. These SettingsObjects are useful to represent settings which apply to entities identifiable by a string id. The ID can be changed, which means these objects cannot be Singletons.
62 33 Luci Stanescu
63 33 Luci Stanescu
SettingsObjects can belong to a group, depending on whether the {{{__group__}}} attribute was specified. If it wasn't, the data will be saved top-level using the id of the SettingsObject; otherwise, the data will be saved under the group specified using the id. It is recommended that SettingsObjects with instances per id be saved in a group, although this is not enforced. For example, the Account instances are saved in a group named '''Accounts'''.
64 33 Luci Stanescu
65 33 Luci Stanescu
When a SettingsObject is instantiated its contained settings are loaded from the configuration storage. If it is the first time a SettingsObject is created, the default values for the settings will apply. The SettingsObject will only be copied to storage when its '''save''' method is called.
66 33 Luci Stanescu
67 33 Luci Stanescu
==== Defining a global SettingsObject ====
68 33 Luci Stanescu
69 1 Adrian Georgescu
In order to define a global SettingsObject, the {{{__id__}}} attribute must be defined on the class, while the {{{__group__}}} attribute can be defined. The {{{__id__}}} must not be used in any other SettingsObject which is stored in the same group (or globally if the {{{__group__}}} attribute is missing). An example of defining a global SettingsObject:
70 33 Luci Stanescu
{{{
71 46 Luci Stanescu
from application.python.util import Singleton
72 33 Luci Stanescu
from sipsimple.configuration import SettingsObject
73 1 Adrian Georgescu
74 33 Luci Stanescu
class SIPSimpleSettings(SettingsObject):
75 46 Luci Stanescu
    __metaclass__ = Singleton
76 33 Luci Stanescu
    __group__ = 'Global'
77 33 Luci Stanescu
    __id__ = 'SIPSimple'
78 33 Luci Stanescu
}}}
79 33 Luci Stanescu
80 33 Luci Stanescu
The {{{__init__}}} method must not accept any other argument except ''self''. It will be called each time the settings are loaded from the storage, not only the first time the object is created.
81 33 Luci Stanescu
82 33 Luci Stanescu
83 33 Luci Stanescu
==== Defining a per-id SettingsObject ====
84 33 Luci Stanescu
85 33 Luci Stanescu
In order to define a per-id SettingsObject, the {{{__group__}}} attribute should be defined on the class, while the {{{__id__}}} attribute must be left to None. When instantiating the resulting class, exactly one argument must be given, which represents the string id. Each class defined as a per-id SettingsObject should be allocated a different group from all the other SettingsObjects (including global ones), otherwise the keys under which the SettingsObjects are stored could overlap. An example of defining a per-id SettingsObject:
86 33 Luci Stanescu
{{{
87 33 Luci Stanescu
from sipsimple.configuration import SettingsObject
88 33 Luci Stanescu
89 33 Luci Stanescu
class Account(SettingsObject):
90 33 Luci Stanescu
    __group__ = 'Accounts'
91 33 Luci Stanescu
    def __init__(self, id):
92 33 Luci Stanescu
        """Do something each time the Account is loaded"""
93 33 Luci Stanescu
}}}
94 33 Luci Stanescu
95 33 Luci Stanescu
The {{{__init__}}} method must accept exactly one argument except ''self''. It will be called each time the object is loaded from the storage, in addition to the first time the object is created. This allows the SettingsObject to be more than a simple collection of settings.
96 33 Luci Stanescu
97 44 Adrian Georgescu
==== methods ====
98 33 Luci Stanescu
99 33 Luci Stanescu
 '''save'''(''self'')::
100 33 Luci Stanescu
 If the contained Settings of this SettingsObject have changed, the object will be saved to the persistent storage. A CFGSettingsObjectDidChange notification will be issued which contains the modified settings. If the save fails, a CFGManagerSaveFailed notification is issued in addition.
101 33 Luci Stanescu
 '''delete'''(''self'')::
102 33 Luci Stanescu
 This method can only be called on per-id SettingsObjects. It will delete the object from the persistent storage. All references to this SettingsObject must be removed.
103 44 Adrian Georgescu
104 1 Adrian Georgescu
==== notifications ====
105 33 Luci Stanescu
106 33 Luci Stanescu
 '''CFGSettingsObjectDidChange'''::
107 46 Luci Stanescu
 This notification is sent when the save method of a SettingsObject is called and some settings were previously changed. Attributes:
108 1 Adrian Georgescu
 [[BR]]''modified'':[[BR]]
109 1 Adrian Georgescu
 A dict instance which maps settings keys in their fully qualified form (attribute names seperated by '.', relative to the SettingsObject) to a ModifiedValue instance; the ModifiedValue instance contains two attributes: ''old'' and ''new'' which are set to the old and the new Setting's value respectively.
110 46 Luci Stanescu
 [[BR]]''timestamp'':[[BR]]
111 46 Luci Stanescu
 A {{{datetime.datetime}}} object representing the moment the notification was sent.
112 46 Luci Stanescu
 '''CFGSettingsObjectDidChangeID'''::
113 46 Luci Stanescu
 This notification is sent when the save method of SettingsObject is called and the ID of the object was previously changed. Attributes:
114 46 Luci Stanescu
 [[BR]]''old_id'':[[BR]]
115 46 Luci Stanescu
 The old value of the ID.
116 46 Luci Stanescu
 [[BR]]''new_id'':[[BR]]
117 46 Luci Stanescu
 The new value of the ID.
118 46 Luci Stanescu
 [[BR]]''timestamp'':[[BR]]
119 46 Luci Stanescu
 A {{{datetime.datetime}}} object representing the moment the notification was sent.
120 33 Luci Stanescu
121 33 Luci Stanescu
=== Setting ===
122 33 Luci Stanescu
123 33 Luci Stanescu
The Setting descriptor is used to describe a setting in SettingsObjects. The following methods are part of the public API of it:
124 33 Luci Stanescu
 '''!__init!__'''(''self'', '''type''', '''default'''={{{None}}}, '''nillable'''={{{False}}})::
125 1 Adrian Georgescu
 Create a new Setting descriptor which represents a setting in all instances of a SettingsObject. The default value must be specified if the setting is not nillable. The type will be applied to the values which are set to this descriptor if the value is not already an instance of the type; it is not applied to the default value.
126 33 Luci Stanescu
127 33 Luci Stanescu
An example of using a setting:
128 33 Luci Stanescu
{{{
129 46 Luci Stanescu
from application.python.util import Singleton
130 1 Adrian Georgescu
from sipsimple import __version__
131 42 Luci Stanescu
from sipsimple.configuration import Setting, SettingsObject
132 33 Luci Stanescu
133 33 Luci Stanescu
class SIPSimpleSettings(SettingsObject):
134 46 Luci Stanescu
    __metaclass__ = Singleton
135 33 Luci Stanescu
    __group__ = 'Global'
136 33 Luci Stanescu
    __id__ = 'SIPSimple'
137 33 Luci Stanescu
138 33 Luci Stanescu
    user_agent = Setting(type=str, default='sipsimple %s' % __version__)
139 33 Luci Stanescu
}}}
140 33 Luci Stanescu
141 33 Luci Stanescu
When a setting value is read from the configuration backend, the type is used to reconstruct the value from a unicode object, a list of unicode objects, or a dictionary containing unicode keys and values with any of these three types. Several built-in types are recognised and are handled automatically:
142 33 Luci Stanescu
 * bool: the unicode strings {{{u'yes'}}}, {{{u'true', {{{u'on'}}} and {{{u'1'}}} are considered to have the value {{{True}}}, while {{{u'no'}}}, {{{u'false'}}}, {{{u'off'}}} and {{{u'0'}}} are considered to have the value False; the comparison is done case insensitively; all other strings are considered invalid.
143 33 Luci Stanescu
 * int, long and basestring: the type is called using the value as an argument.
144 33 Luci Stanescu
All other types are instantiated using an un-pickling like mechanism. The {{{__new__}}} method is called without any arguments and {{{__setstate__}}} is called on the object returned by {{{__new__}}} using the value as the sole argument.
145 33 Luci Stanescu
146 33 Luci Stanescu
Saving a setting value is done similarly, according to type. The builtin types which are handled are the same:
147 33 Luci Stanescu
 * bool: the unicode objects {{{u'true'}}} and {{{u'false}}} are used depending on the value.
148 33 Luci Stanescu
 * int, long and basestring: {{{unicode}}} is called with the value as the sole argument.
149 33 Luci Stanescu
For all other types, the {{{__getstate__}}} method is called which should return an appropriate value.
150 33 Luci Stanescu
151 33 Luci Stanescu
152 1 Adrian Georgescu
=== SettingsGroup ===
153 33 Luci Stanescu
154 33 Luci Stanescu
A SettingsGroup allows settings to be structured hierarchically. Subclasses of SettingsGroup are containers for Settings and other SettingsGroups just as SettingsObjects are. In addition, the subclasses of SettingsGroup are descriptors and can be used as such to assign a SettingsGroup as a child of another SettingsGroup or a SettingsObject. An example usage containing Setting, SettingsGroup and SettingsObject:
155 33 Luci Stanescu
{{{
156 46 Luci Stanescu
from application.python.util import Singleton
157 42 Luci Stanescu
from sipsimple import __version__
158 33 Luci Stanescu

159 33 Luci Stanescu
160 1 Adrian Georgescu
class TLSSettings(SettingsGroup):
161 33 Luci Stanescu
    verify_server = Setting(type=bool, default=False)
162 33 Luci Stanescu
163 33 Luci Stanescu

    __id__ = 'SIPSimple'
167 33 Luci Stanescu
168 33 Luci Stanescu
    user_agent = Setting(type=str, default='sipsimple %s' % __version__)

}}}
172 33 Luci Stanescu
173 1 Adrian Georgescu
=== SettingsObjectExtension ===
174 33 Luci Stanescu
175 33 Luci Stanescu
The SettingsObjectExtension allows an application to add or customize the settings of the middleware according to its needs. In order to add or replace settings/settings groups defined in another SettingsObject, SettingsObjectExtension can be subclassed and the register_extension class method of the original SettingsObject can be called passing the SettingObjectExtension subclass as the sole argument. In order to add/replace settings in a group of settings, the original SettingsGroup can be subclassed. Example:
176 33 Luci Stanescu

=== Backend API ===
205 33 Luci Stanescu
206 33 Luci Stanescu
The backend API provides a way to use the configuration framework consistently, while using any system for storing the data persistently. The ConfigurationManager makes use of a backend whenever it needs to write/read something to the persistent storage. The backend only needs to know how to handle data in the dictionary format explained in [wiki:SipConfigurationAPI#ConfigurationManager Configuration Manager]. In order to use a specific backend, it is given to the ConfigurationManager in its start method.
207 33 Luci Stanescu
208 33 Luci Stanescu
The interface '''sipsimple.configuration.backend.IBackend''' describes the backend:
209 33 Luci Stanescu
 '''load'''()::
210 33 Luci Stanescu
 Load the configuration data using whatever means employed by the backend implementation and return a dictionary conforming to the definition in [wiki:SipConfigurationAPI#ConfigurationManager Configuration Manager].
211 33 Luci Stanescu
 '''save'''('''data''')::
212 33 Luci Stanescu
 Given a dictionary conforming to the definition in this interface, save the data using whatever means employed by the backend implementation.
213 33 Luci Stanescu
214 33 Luci Stanescu
215 33 Luci Stanescu
==== FileBackend ====
216 33 Luci Stanescu
217 33 Luci Stanescu
A concrete implementation of the '''IBackend''' interface resides in '''sipsimple.configuration.backend.file.FileBackend'''. The methods different from the ones in '''IBackend''' are:
218 33 Luci Stanescu
219 33 Luci Stanescu
 '''!__init!__'''(''self'', '''filename''', '''encoding'''={{{'utf-8'}}})::
220 33 Luci Stanescu
 Create a new FileBackend which uses the specified filename for loading and storing the data to; the data is written using the specified encoding, defaulting to UTF-8.
221 33 Luci Stanescu
222 33 Luci Stanescu
This object saves the data using a simple text file format with the following syntax:
223 33 Luci Stanescu
 * SettingGroups, SettingsObjects or Groups of SettingsObjects are represented by their name (or id in the case of SettingsObjects) followed by a colon (''':'''). These containers can contain other such containers or simple settings. Their children need to be indented more that the container itself. The indentation need not be consistent.
224 33 Luci Stanescu

231 33 Luci Stanescu
 * Simple settings are represented by a name followed by an equals sign and the value; whitespace anywhere in between is ignored. The different values are represented in the following way:

These are the current settings, kept in the modules '''sipsimple.configuration.settings''' and '''sipsimple.account'''. The main classes used to access the settings are Account, BonjourAccount and SIPSimpleSettings. All settings can be accessed as simple attributes. The types of attributes is described for each setting below. When setting the value of an attribute, if it's not of the required type, it will be given to the specified type as the only argument. The modified settings are not saved to the persistent storage until the '''save''' method is called on the main object. Once this is done, a CFGSettingsObjectDidChange notification is sent, the data of which is explained in [wiki:SipConfigurationAPI#SettingsObjectNotifications SettingsObject Notifications].

Only a nillable setting can be assigned the value {{{None}}}, even if the type of the setting would otherwise accept {{{None}}} as an argument. The settings as described below are ''not'' nillable, unless specified explicitely. To reset the value of a setting, the special object {{{sipsimple.configuration.DefaultValue}}} can be assigned to it. If a default value is not explicitely specified below, it defaults to {{{None}}}. Note that a non-nillable setting cannot have the default value of {{{None}}}.

The Account object is used to represent a normal SIP account registered at a SIP provider. It is uniquely identifiable by it's SIP ID, in the form ''user@domain''. There is exactly one instance of Account per ID, which means that an Account can be accessed by instantianting it anywhere. However, this is not the recommended way of accessing accounts, since it can lead to creating new accounts. The recommended way is by using the [wiki:SipMiddlewareApi#AccountManager AccountManager]. Information about the roles of Account, apart from being a collection of settings, is explained in the [wiki:SipMiddlewareApi#Account Middleware API].

The BonjourAccount is a singleton object as there can only be one bonjour account on a system. A bonjour account is used in P2P mode and does not interact with any server. Similar to the Account, it is used both as a complex object, which contains the required behavior for bonjour, as well as a container for the settings which apply to it. 
620 1 Adrian Georgescu
621 30 Luci Stanescu

The SIPClients scripts use the Configuration API to extend the settings in the middleware with some application-specific settings. The following sections list these additional settings in order to provide an example for the kind of settings which, being application specific, do not find their place in the middleware and should be added by the application.
