[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-228?page=comments#action_12436935 ] Oliver Heger commented on CONFIGURATION-228: --------------------------------------------
I think the problem here is that the subset configuration returned by XMLConfiguration is not life, i.e. it is not really connected to the parent configuration. There was a bug report (CONFIGURATION-212) describing this problem. In the current code base there is the new method configurationAt(String key) in HierarichicalConfiguration that returns a life configuration. You can try this method as an alternative. But maybe the subset() implementation should be changed to return a life subset, too. > XMLConfiguration.subset() with FileChangedReloadingStrategy does *not* 'see' > file changes > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CONFIGURATION-228 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-228 > Project: Commons Configuration > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 1.2 Final > Reporter: Janusz Studzizba > > XMLConfiguration.subset() with FileChangedReloadingStrategy does *not* 'see' > file changes > Configuration.xml: > <conf> > <parent-item> > <sub-item>old_value</sub-item> > </parent-item> > </conf> > 1.
