PreferencesFactory (Java Platform SE 6)

This documentation differs from the official API. Jadeite adds extra features to the API including: variable font sizes, constructions examples, placeholders for classes and methods, and auto-generated “See Also” links. Additionally it is missing some items found in standard Javadoc documentation, including: generics type information, “Deprecated” tags and comments, “See Also” links, along with other minor differences. Please send any questions or feedback to bam@cs.cmu.edu.

DETAIL: FIELD | CONSTR | METHOD

java.util.prefs
interface PreferencesFactory

public interface PreferencesFactory

A factory object that generates Preferences objects. Providers of new {@link Preferences} implementations should provide corresponding PreferencesFactory implementations so that the new Preferences implementation can be installed in place of the platform-specific default implementation.

This class is for Preferences implementers only. Normal users of the Preferences facility should have no need to consult this documentation.

Method Summary
`Preferences`	`systemRoot()` Returns the system root preference node.
`Preferences`	`userRoot()` Returns the user root preference node corresponding to the calling user.

Method Detail

systemRoot

public Preferences systemRoot()

Returns the system root preference node. (Multiple calls on this method will return the same object reference.)

userRoot

public Preferences userRoot()

Returns the user root preference node corresponding to the calling user. In a server, the returned value will typically depend on some implicit client-context.
