Creating a view to configuration data is a two-step process.

1. Connect to a data source by creating an instance of a com.sun.star.configuration.ConfigurationProvider for user preferences or a com.sun.star.configuration.AdministrationProvider for shared preferences.
2. Ask the provider to create an access object for a specific nodepath in the configuration database using <idlml>com.sun.star.lang.XMultiServiceFactory:createInstanceWithArguments</idlml>(). The access object can be a com.sun.star.configuration.ConfigurationAccess or a com.sun.star.configuration.ConfigurationUpdateAccess.
