The C++ and Java Service Providers have potential differences in their configuration philosophy. Currently the same configuration file generates the same result thanks to careful programming.

 

Everything you need is already part of the protocol and configuration schemas. I would argue that the current C++ code and the resulting configuration examples assume some redundancy in items that need not be redundant. There are some interesting possibilities here if we are willing to draw some distinctions. Or maybe not.

 

I have written a rather extensive discussion of the interplay between parameters, and lay some proposals on the table for a broader interpretation. See
