The RegistryBean (com.softwareag.centrasite.appl.framework.beans.RegistryBean ) interface has to stay on top of each bean model hierarchy.

It contains the properties that a registry object would have, namely a key and a name. Implementing is the only restriction the framework on the application bean model. The user can use DynamicRegistryBean (com.softwareag.centrasite.appl.framework.beans.DynamicRegistryBean) for implementation of RegistryBeans.

It implements RegistryBean and RevisionBean ( com.softwareag.centrasite.appl.framework.beans.RevisionBean), which is the revision-aware extension of the RegistryBean interface.

There is one more option here. If the registry bean needs to be lifecycle-aware, then the user should use the com.softwareag.centrasite.appl.framework.lcm.beans.LifeCycleAware interface instead of RegistryBean.

Its implementation is handled by com.softwareag.centrasite.appl.framework.lcm.beans.LCAwareDynamicRegistryBean.
