Class ConfigHelper

java.lang.Object
  com.plumtree.uiinfrastructure.statichelpers.ConfigHelper

Direct Known Subclasses:

PTConfigHelper

public class ConfigHelper
extends java.lang.Object

This class contains helper methods to get variables from the configVarPack. This is also used to get data that is generated from the config var pack, along with some logic from other places, like the image server urls. These should only be retrieved from this static helper. NOTE DonH: if the base config varpack reloads, this will not currently get reloaded. Reloading wouldn't be threadsafe anyways.
