An instance of Configuration allows the application to specify properties to be used when creating a EPServiceProvider. Usually an application will create a single Configuration, then get one or more instances of net.esper.client.EPServiceProvider via net.esper.client.EPServiceProviderManager. The Configuration is meant only as an initialization-time object. EPServiceProviders are immutable and do not retain any association back to the Configuration.

The format of an Esper XML configuration file is defined in esper-configuration-1.0.xsd.

The following tables list the members exposed by the Configuration type.
