A PropertySource implementation capable of interrogating its underlying source object to enumerate all possible property name/value pairs. Exposes the getPropertyNames() method to allow callers to introspect available properties without having to access the underlying source object. This also facilitates a more efficient implementation of containsProperty(String), in that it can call getPropertyNames() and iterate through the returned array rather than attempting a call to PropertySource.getProperty(String) which may be more expensive. Implementations may consider caching the result of getPropertyNames() to fully exploit this performance opportunity.

Most framework-provided PropertySource implementations are enumerable; a counter-example would be JndiPropertySource where, due to the nature of JNDI it is not possible to determine all possible property names at any given time; rather it is only possible to try to access a property (via PropertySource.getProperty(String)) in order to evaluate whether it is present or not.
