http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29036 [configuration] Load file configurations from the classpath ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-05-18 06:28 ------- ConfigurationFactory provides means to specify a base path or URL from which configuration files are loaded. Refer to the API doc of the setBasePath() method. If this method was not called, the location of the configuration factory XML file is used as base path. Relative URLs specified in the XML file are resolved using this base path. It is also possible to specify absolute URLs for the configuration files to load. Loading configuration files from the class path is not yet supported and I agree that this is a useful feature. As Emmanuel pointed out loading of the configuration files is done by instantiating a Configuration object of the right type and invoking its load() method. With the actual design I think it won't be easy to implement loading from class path as an additional and optional feature. For the long run I would suggest a more sophisticated mechanism for locating configuration files, e.g. a couple of ConfigurationLocator classes that know how to find a configuration file in the class path, at a specified URL, in the user's home directory, relative to another location etc. And I still propose to separate the loading of configuration objects from the objects itself by introducing a hierarchy of ConfigurationLoader classes.
