40// DocMerge from xml: service com::sun::star::registry::NestedRegistry
41/** supports a shared view on two different registries. The registry
42    files will be opened in two different modes, registry1 will be opened with read/write
43    rights and registry2 will be opened read-only.
44    In the context of this service, the functions <code>open</code>, <code>close</code>,
45    and <code>destroy</code> from <type>XSimpleRegistry</type> are not supported and
46    throw an exception if they are used.

49    <dl>
50    <dt>    <b>getURL</b>
51    </dt>
52    <dd> returns the name of registry1.
53
54    </dd>
55    <dt>    <b>isValid</b>
56    </dt>
57    <dd> checks if registry1 is valid. If the interface is not <NULL/>
58    then registry1 should always be valid.
59
60    </dd>
61    <dt>    <b>isReadOnly</b>
62    </dt>
63    <dd> checks if registry1 has write protection.
64    </dd>
65    <dt>    <b>mergeKey</b>
66    </dt>
67    <dd> merges all information from the specified registry in registry1.
68
69    </dd>
70    <dt>    <b>getRootKey</b>
71    </dt>
72    <dd> returns a virtual rootkey of both registries.

86    <dt> <b>deleteKey</b>
87    </dt>
88    <dd> deletes the key only if it is present in registry1.

91    <dt> <b>setLongValue, setAsciiValue, setStringValue, setBinaryValue</b>

96    <dt> <b>getLongValue, getAsciiValue, getStringValue, getBinaryValue</b>
97    </dt>
98    <dd> returns the value at the specified key in registry1, or if
99    the value is not present in registry1, it will return the value of registry2.
100
101    </dd>
102    <dt> <b>openKeys</b>
103    </dt>
104    <dd> returns a sequence of all subkeys in both registries.
105
106    </dd>
107    <dt> <b>getKeyNames</b>
108    </dt>
109    <dd> returns a sequence with the names of all subkeys in both
110    registries.

121    How to initialize the registries:<br>
122    Use a sequence of <type>XSimpleRegistry</type> with two elements. The first element must be
123    the registry which is opened with read/write rights and the second element must be
124    the read-only one.<br>
125    Two different ways are possible:<br>
126    <ul>
127    <li> use <method scope="com::sun::star::lang">XMultiServiceFactory::createInstanceWithArguments()</method> to
128    create an instance of this service where the value of the any parameter must be the sequence with
129    the two open registries.
130    <li> use the initialize function of the <type scope="com::sun::star::lang">XInitialization</type> interface where the value of the
131    any parameter must be the sequence with the two open registries.
132    </ul>
133    <br>

136    Guarantees:
137    <ul>
138    <li>-thread safe</li>
