Christopher:
Thanks for taking the time to respond. Unfortunately, it's not so
easy... :-(

The first place I'm trying to access the config is from within the
ptolemy.vergil.icon.XMLIcon class, and it looks like the icon is not
part of a containment hierarchy (at least, not at the time when I try to
access the config), so no luck there.
Any other pointers?
I know of a "fix" that would definitely solve this, but I'm not sure if
there would be any unwanted repercussions... As far as I can tell, only
one instance of VergilApplication (which extends MoMLApplication) exists
at runtime, in any given JVM instance? If so, would it be possible to
add a method:
public static Configuration getConfiguration()
to MoMLApplication? (This would also necessitate adding the "static"
keyword to the existing "_configuration" variable in MoMLApplication.)
Or am I missing something important?
Thanks

Hi Matthew,
Edward knows this one, but I'll take a guess.
Trying going up the containment hierarchy until
you get to an object that is a Configuration.
moml/SharedParameter.java has code like:
/** Return the top level of the containment hierarchy, unless
* one of the containers is an instance of EntityLibrary,
* in which case, return null.
* @return The top level, or null if this is within a library.
*/
public NamedObj getRoot() {
NamedObj result = this;
while (result.getContainer() != null) {
result = (NamedObj) result.getContainer();
// FIXME: this means that ptolemy.moml depends on
// ptolemy.actor.gui. We could either do instanceof
// or else create ptolemy.kernel.ConfigurationBase
// and have Configuration extend it.
if (result instanceof Configuration) {
// If the results is a Configuration, then go no higher.
// If we do go higher, then we end up expanding the actor
// library tree which take a long time and fails if
// not all the actors are present. For example, not
// everyone will have Matlab or quicktime.
return null;
}
}
return result;
}
This might do it, though I think the object would need to have been
created from within the GUI.
Edward would know for sure.
