Property detail

configLocations

property

configLocations:Array [read-only]

Returns an array of configuration locations.

Implementation
public function get configLocations():Array

currentConfigLocation

property

()

constructor

public function XMLObjectFactory(source:* = null)

Creates a new XmlObjectFactory

Parameters
