# class ConfigurationView

Library: Util
Package: Configuration
Header: Poco/Util/ConfigurationView.h

## Description

This configuration implements a "view" into a sub-hierarchy of another configuration.

For example, given a configuration with the following properties:

    config.value1
    config.value2
    config.sub.value1
    config.sub.value2

and a ConfigurationView with the prefix "config", then the above properties will be available via the view as

    value1
    value2
    sub.value1
    sub.value2

A ConfigurationView is most useful in combination with a LayeredConfiguration.

If a property is not found in the view, it is searched in the original configuration. Given the above example configuration, the property named "config.value1" will still be found in the view.

The main reason for this is that placeholder expansion (${property}) still works as expected given a ConfigurationView.

## Constructors

### ConfigurationView

ConfigurationView(
const std::string & prefix,
AbstractConfiguration * pConfig
);
