This package contains classes that allow the creation and manipulation of service tags. This com.sun.servicetag package is intended for Sun internal use only.

Service Tag
  A service tag is an XML-based data structure that contains identifying information about an instance of a product or component on a system.

Service Tag Registry
  A service tag registry is a XML-based registry that contains the service tags of all the tagged components on a system. The service tag registry is present on systems that have the Service Tags software installed.

Registration Data
  A registration data is a container of one or more service tags that identify the components for product registration and will be used to interface with the Sun Connection registration services.

This package contains the methods to create service tags, set up the registration data for product registration, add service tags to and remove them from the system service tag registry.

All methods defined in this package will throw {@code NullPointerException} if {@code null} is passed in any input parameter unless it is stated otherwise. In addition, they are multi-thread safe.
