Detailed Description
provides information about the root element of a hierarchy and about the hierarchy as a whole.
Provides information about the element and the whole hierarchy. Allows controlling the lifetime of the hierarchy. Allows observing changes in the hierarchy as a whole.
When access to a hierarchy is first obtained from a factory or provider, this is the initial object that is created by the factory. It represents the root of the accessible part of the hierarchy.
NOTE: In this description "hierarchy" may actually designate a part or fragment of a larger hierarchy. It is that part that is rooted in the element represented by an implementation of this service and that is accessible starting from this element.
Generally it is not possible to navigate the parent or siblings, if any, of this element, so com::sun::star::container::XChild is not supported.

- com::sun::star::configuration::UpdateRootElement Implementations that support modifying data in the hierarchy implement service UpdateRootElement.
- com::sun::star::configuration::SetElement A complementary service, for children of a dynamic homogeneous container.
- com::sun::star::configuration::GroupElement A complementary service, for children of a static heterogeneous collection.
- com::sun::star::configuration::ConfigurationProvider Objects provided by a ConfigurationProvider implement this service.
Exported Interfaces
◆ HierarchyElement
| service HierarchyElement |
the basic service for accessing information about an element in the hierarchy.
Exported Interfaces
◆ com::sun::star::lang::XComponent
| interface com::sun::star::lang::XComponent |
allows controlling or observing the lifetime of the whole hierarchy.
The owner of the hierarchy may dispose of this object using com::sun::star::lang::XComponent::dispose(). As this object owns its child elements and, recursively, the whole hierarchy, any descendant elements obtained, directly or indirectly, from this object will also be disposed. Disposing of the object does not affect a persistent representation of the hierarchy.
When an implementation is obtained from a factory or provider, ownership of it is usually transferred to the client. See the documentation of the particular provider or factory service for details.
The provider of this object may still dispose of this object, when the lifetime of the provider ends or if these objects represent the root of only a fragment of an enclosing hierarchy and this fragment is removed from the complete hierarchy by an outside source.
Clients may register a com::sun::star::lang::XEventListener to be notified when the object is disposed for either cause.
◆ com::sun::star::lang::XLocalizable
|
optional |
provides access to the locale that applies to locale-dependent data in this hierarchy.
[optional]
This interface may be missing if the implementation does not support locale-dependent data in the hierarchy or if the (partial) hierarchy rooted in this object does not contain any locale-dependent elements.
Changing the locale is generally not supported. If it is supported, there is no guarantee that values already loaded into the hierarchy, or an application cache, are refreshed to reflect the new locale. Use of com::sun::star::lang::XLocalizable::setLocale() is therefore not recommended.
◆ com::sun::star::util::XChangesNotifier
| interface com::sun::star::util::XChangesNotifier |
allows registering listeners that observe the whole hierarchy.
A client can register an com::sun::star::util::XChangesListener, which will receive notifications for any changes within the hierarchy (fragment) this object represents.
An implementation will collect as many changes as possible into a single com::sun::star::util::ChangesEvent. For Example:
If com::sun::star::beans::XMultiPropertySet::setPropertyValues() or com::sun::star::beans::XMultiHierarchicalPropertySet::setHierarchicalPropertyValues() is used on an element of the hierarchy to change multiple values within the hierarchy, all changes will be notified with a single event.
If an outside source uses com::sun::star::util::XChangesBatch::commitChanges() on an overlapping hierarchy access, all relevant changes will be notified with a single event.
The documentation for this service was generated from the following file:
- com/sun/star/configuration/AccessRootElement.idl
