Sharing Configuration Between Applications

Use

If the Root-Plug-in name is not the same as the application name, then the ConfigRootFolder has to match the Root-Plugin. This is the mechanism used to have different Portal applications sharing the same configuration.

Procedure

Using the Config framework API

·        Get the Configuration service:

IConfigurationService service = Configuration.getInstance();

·        Get the Config Manager

IConfigManager manager =    service.getConfigManager(IConfigClientContext.createContext());

·        Get the Config Plugin .The path /com.sap.portal.prt.config.prototype matches the Root-Plugin name.

IConfigPlugin plugin =    manager.getConfigPlugin("/com.sap.portal.prt.config.prototype");

·        Get the Configurable

IConfigurable configurable = plugin.getConfigurable("hello_text");

·        Get the Property Value

String text = configurable.getPropertyValue("value");
