Description

The handling of both the ProxyConfigurations and the TrustedHostsConfiguration can be greatly simplified. Currently the consumers of these objects retrieve them from the OSGi framework. Since all of these objects are mutable singletons and are continually updated to reflect the latest configuration, it is unnecessary to get them over and over again from the framework.

The ProxyConfigurations can be handed down as a List<ProxyConfiguration> and the TrustedHostsConfiguration can be handed down as-is.
