Revision as of 15:00, 22 June 2010



After a configuration provider is obtained, call <idlml>com.sun.star.lang.XMultiServiceFactory:createInstanceWithArguments</idlml>() to create a view on the configuration data.

The following arguments can be specified when creating a view:

Parameter Name Type Default Comments
nodepath string - This parameter is required. It contains an absolute path to the root node of the view.
Locale string The user's locale

(or "*")

Using this parameter, specify the locale to be used for selecting locale-dependent values. Use the ISO code for a locale, for example, en-US for U.S. English.

Template:Documentation/Note

To create a read-only view on the data, the service com.sun.star.configuration.ConfigurationAccess is requested: 

  // Create a specified read-only configuration view
  public Object createConfigurationView(String sPath) throws com.sun.star.uno.Exception {
      // get the provider to use 
      XMultiServiceFactory xProvider = getProvider();
 
      // The service name: Need only read access:
      final String sReadOnlyView = "com.sun.star.configuration.ConfigurationAccess";
 
      // creation arguments: nodepath 
      com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue aPathArgument = new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue();
      aPathArgument.Name = "nodepath";
      aPathArgument.Value = sPath;
 
      Object[] aArguments = new Object[1];
      aArguments[0] = aPathArgument;
 
      // create the view
      Object xViewRoot = xProvider.createInstanceWithArguments(sReadOnlyView, aArguments);
 
      return xViewRoot;
  }

To obtain updatable access, the service com.sun.star.configuration.ConfigurationUpdateAccess is requested.
