class Util_API AbstractConfiguration: public Poco::RefCountedObject
	/// AbstractConfiguration is an abstract base class for different
	/// kinds of configuration data, such as INI files, property files,
	/// XML configuration files or the Windows Registry.
	///
	/// Configuration property keys have a hierarchical format, consisting
	/// of names separated by periods. The exact interpretation of key names
	/// is up to the actual subclass implementation of AbstractConfiguration.
	/// Keys are case sensitive.
	///
	/// All public methods are synchronized, so the class is safe for multithreaded use.
	/// AbstractConfiguration implements reference counting based garbage collection.
	///
	/// Subclasses must override the getRaw(), setRaw() and enumerate() methods.
