+
+	* artifact-database/src/main/java/de/intevation/artifactdatabase/state/Settings.java:
+	  An interface that describes a flat API for specifying settings for
+	  something. A Settings object can store one or more Section instances and
+	  defines a toXML() operation that should append a XML representation of
+	  itself to a given parent Node.
+
+	* artifact-database/src/main/java/de/intevation/artifactdatabase/state/Section.java:
+	  This interface is used to describe an API for storing and retrieving
+	  Attribute objects. Just as the Settings interface, it defines a toXML()
+	  operation that should append a XML representation of itself to a given
+	  parent Node.
+
+	* artifact-database/src/main/java/de/intevation/artifactdatabase/state/Attribute.java:
+	  The interface for concrete attributes in a Section instance. An Attribute
+	  is the placed on the lowest level of the Settings hierachy and should be
+	  used to save concrete key value pairs. Even the Attribute defines the
+	  toXML() operation described above.
+
+	* artifact-database/src/main/java/de/intevation/artifactdatabase/state/Output.java:
+	  Added a getSettings() and setSettings(Settings) operation.
+
+	* artifact-database/src/main/java/de/intevation/artifactdatabase/state/DefaultOutput.java:
+	  A DefaultOutput is now able to store a Settings instance. It implements
+	  getSettings() and setSettings(Settings) defined in the Output interface.
