ABSTRACT:
Modules of a data processing system are configured by providing a configuration file that includes configuration file blocks, a respective one of which contains configuration information for a respective one of the modules. A configuration file interface is also provided for each of the modules. A configuration file interface identifies the configuration file block that contains configuration information for the associated module and consumes the configuration block so identified. A pipe serially passes a configuration file block to the configuration file interfaces, until one of the configuration file interfaces identifies a configuration file block. Configuration file blocks continue to be passed until all of the configuration file blocks have been passed to the appropriate configuration file interface.
