Class PPropUtilities

java.lang.Object
com.portal.bas.PPropUtilities
public class PPropUtilities extends Object
Utility class to deal with client default properties and user preferences that may override the client defaults. Looking up a key using these methods will first attempt to retrieve the key from the client defaults (PClientContext.getServices().getDefaultProperties()) and then attempt to retrieve the same key from the user prefs (PClientContext.getServices().getUserPreferences()). If set in the user prefs that value will be returned. If not set in user prefs the value from the client defaults (if any) will be returned.
You can also register for changes to the user preferences via methods in this class. The caveat is that only changes made via the setProp() method will be tracked.
