+/**
+ * The synchronization mechanism that provides reader/writer capabilities for
+ * disconnected <code>RowSet</code> objects.
+ * A <code>SyncProvider</code> implementation is a class that extends the
+ * <code>SyncProvider</code> abstract class.
+ * <P>
+ * A <code>SyncProvider</code> implementation is
+ * identified by a unique ID, which is its fully qualified class name.
+ * This name must be registered with the
+ * <code>SyncFactory</code> SPI, thus making the implementation available to
+ * all <code>RowSet</code> implementations.
+ * The factory mechanism in the reference implementation uses this name to instantiate
+ * the implementation, which can then provide a <code>RowSet</code> object with its
+ * reader (a <code>javax.sql.RowSetReader</code> object) and its writer (a
+ * <code>javax.sql.RowSetWriter</code> object).
+ * <P>
+ * The Jdbc <code>RowSet</code> Implementations specification provides two
+ * reference implementations of the <code>SyncProvider</code> abstract class:
+ * <code>RIOptimisticProvider</code> and <code>RIXMLProvider</code>.
+ * The <code>RIOptimisticProvider</code> can set any <code>RowSet</code>
+ * implementation with a <code>RowSetReader</code> object and a
+ * <code>RowSetWriter</code> object.  However, only the <code>RIXMLProvider</code>
+ * implementation can set an <code>XmlReader</code> object and an
+ * <code>XmlWriter</code> object. A <code>WebRowSet</code> object uses the
+ * <code>XmlReader</code> object to read data in XML format to populate itself with that
+ * data.  It uses the <code>XmlWriter</code> object to write itself to a stream or
+ * <code>java.io.Writer</code> object in XML format.
+ * <P>
+ * <h3>1.0 Naming Convention for Implementations</h3>
+ * As a guide  to naming <code>SyncProvider</code>
+ * implementations, the following should be noted:
+ * <UL>
+ * <li>The name for a <code>SyncProvider</code> implementation
+ * is its fully qualified class name.
+ * <li>It is recommended that vendors supply a
+ * <code>SyncProvider</code> implementation in a package named <code>providers</code>.
+ * </UL>
+ * <p>
+ * For instance, if a vendor named Fred, Inc. offered a
+ * <code>SyncProvider</code> implementation, you could have the following:
+ * <PRE>
+ *     Vendor name:  Fred, Inc.
+ *     Domain name of vendor:  com.fred
+ *     Package name:  com.fred.providers
+ *     SyncProvider implementation class name:  HighAvailabilityProvider
+ *
+ *     Fully qualified class name of SyncProvider implementation:
+ *                        com.fred.providers.HighAvailabilityProvider
+ * </PRE>
+ * <P>
+ * The following line of code uses the fully qualified name to register
+ * this implementation with the <code>SyncFactory</code> static instance.
+ * <PRE>
+ *     SyncFactory.registerProvider(
+ *                          "com.fred.providers.HighAvailabilityProvider");
+ * </PRE>
+ * <P>
+ * The default <code>SyncProvider</code> object provided with the reference
+ * implementation uses the following name:
+ * <pre>
+ *     com.sun.rowset.providers.RIOptimisticProvider
+ * </pre>
+ * <p>
+ * A vendor can register a <code>SyncProvider</code> implementation class name
+ * with Sun Microsystems, Inc. by sending email to jdbc@sun.com.
+ * Sun will maintain a database listing the
+ * available <code>SyncProvider</code> implementations for use with compliant
+ * <code>RowSet</code> implementations.  This database will be similar to the
+ * one already maintained to list available JDBC drivers.
+ * <P>
+ * Vendors should refer to the reference implementation synchronization
+ * providers for additional guidance on how to implement a new
+ * <code>SyncProvider</code> implementation.
+ *
+ * <h3>2.0 How a <code>RowSet</code> Object Gets Its Provider</h3>
+ *
+ * A disconnected <code>Rowset</code> object may get access to a
+ * <code>SyncProvider</code> object in one of the following two ways:
+ * <UL>
+ *  <LI>Using a constructor<BR>
+ *      <PRE>
+ *       CachedRowSet crs = new CachedRowSet(
+ *                  "com.fred.providers.HighAvailabilitySyncProvider");
+ *      </PRE>
+ *  <LI>Using the <code>setSyncProvider</code> method
+ *      <PRE>
+ *       CachedRowSet crs = new CachedRowSet();
+ *       crs.setSyncProvider("com.fred.providers.HighAvailabilitySyncProvider");
+ *      </PRE>
+
+ * </UL>
+ * <p>
+ * By default, the reference implementations of the <code>RowSet</code> synchronization
+ * providers are always available to the Java platform.
+ * If no other pluggable synchronization providers have been correctly
+ * registered, the <code>SyncFactory</code> will automatically generate
+ * an instance of the default <code>SyncProvider</code> reference implementation.
+ * Thus, in the preceding code fragment, if no implementation named
+ * <code>com.fred.providers.HighAvailabilitySyncProvider</code> has been
+ * registered with the <code>SyncFactory</code> instance, <i>crs</i> will be
+ * assigned the default provider in the reference implementation, which is
+ * <code>com.sun.rowset.providers.RIOptimisticProvider</code>.
+ * <p>
+ * <h3>3.0 Violations and Synchronization Issues</h3>
+ * If an update between a disconnected <code>RowSet</code> object
+ * and a data source violates
+ * the original query or the underlying data source constraints, this will
+ * result in undefined behavior for all disconnected <code>RowSet</code> implementations
+ * and their designated <code>SyncProvider</code> implementations.
+ * Not defining the behavior when such violations occur offers greater flexibility
+ * for a <code>SyncProvider</code>
+ * implementation to determine its own best course of action.
+ * <p>
+ * A <code>SyncProvider</code> implementation
+ * may choose to implement a specific handler to
+ * handle a subset of query violations.
+ * However if an original query violation or a more general data source constraint
+ * violation is not handled by the <code>SyncProvider</code> implementation,
+ * all <code>SyncProvider</code>
+ * objects must throw a <code>SyncProviderException</code>.
+ * <p>
+ * <h3>4.0 Updatable SQL VIEWs</h3>
+ * It is possible for any disconnected or connected <code>RowSet</code> object to be populated
+ * from an SQL query that is formulated originally from an SQL <code>VIEW</code>.
+ * While in many cases it is possible for an update to be performed to an
+ * underlying view, such an update requires additional metadata, which may vary.
+ * The <code>SyncProvider</code> class provides two constants to indicate whether
+ * an implementation supports updating an SQL <code>VIEW</code>.
+ * <ul>
+ * <li><code><b>NONUPDATABLE_VIEW_SYNC</b></code> - Indicates that a <code>SyncProvider</code>
+ * implementation does not support synchronization with an SQL <code>VIEW</code> as the
+ * underlying source of data for the <code>RowSet</code> object.
+ * <li><code><b>UPDATABLE_VIEW_SYNC</b></code> - Indicates that a
+ * <code>SyncProvider</code> implementation
+ * supports synchronization with an SQL <code>VIEW</code> as the underlying source
+ * of data.
+ * </ul>
+ * <P>
+ * The default is for a <code>RowSet</code> object not to be updatable if it was
+ * populated with data from an SQL <code>VIEW</code>.
+ * <P>
+ * <h3>5.0 <code>SyncProvider</code> Constants</h3>
+ * The <code>SyncProvider</code> class provides three sets of constants that
+ * are used as return values or parameters for <code>SyncProvider</code> methods.
+ * <code>SyncProvider</code> objects may be implemented to perform synchronization
+ * between a <code>RowSet</code> object and its underlying data source with varying
+ * degrees of of care. The first group of constants indicate how synchronization
+ * is handled. For example, <code>GRADE_NONE</code> indicates that a
+ * <code>SyncProvider</code> object will not take any care to see what data is
+ * valid and will simply write the <code>RowSet</code> data to the data source.
+ * <code>GRADE_MODIFIED_AT_COMMIT</code> indicates that the provider will check
+ * only modified data for validity.  Other grades check all data for validity
+ * or set locks when data is modified or loaded.
+ * <OL>
+ *  <LI>Constants to indicate the synchronization grade of a
+ *     <code>SyncProvider</code> object
+ *   <UL>
+ *    <LI>SyncProvider.GRADE_NONE
+ *    <LI>SyncProvider.GRADE_MODIFIED_AT_COMMIT
+ *    <LI>SyncProvider.GRADE_CHECK_ALL_AT_COMMIT
+ *    <LI>SyncProvider.GRADE_LOCK_WHEN_MODIFIED
+ *    <LI>SyncProvider.GRADE_LOCK_WHEN_LOADED
+ *   </UL>
+ *  <LI>Constants to indicate what locks are set on the data source
+ *   <UL>
+ *     <LI>SyncProvider.DATASOURCE_NO_LOCK
+ *     <LI>SyncProvider.DATASOURCE_ROW_LOCK
+ *     <LI>SyncProvider.DATASOURCE_TABLE_LOCK
+ *     <LI>SyncProvider.DATASOURCE_DB_LOCK
+ *   </UL>
+ *  <LI>Constants to indicate whether a <code>SyncProvider</code> object can
+ *       perform updates to an SQL <code>VIEW</code> <BR>
+ *       These constants are explained in the preceding section (4.0).
+ *   <UL>
+ *     <LI>SyncProvider.UPDATABLE_VIEW_SYNC
+ *     <LI>SyncProvider.NONUPDATABLE_VIEW_SYNC
+ *   </UL>
+ * </OL>
