1) How to trigger a reload()? Via a request to the servlet or some
kind of API call, or a process that is "watching" the config files.
Could maybe work like JSP, when you ask for a definition, the factory
will look to see if it has changed.
Ya, I kind of had the same question. I guess that we are free to fire
up our own threads in the servlet container. Maybe a thread object
could be placed in application scope that spins up and looks at the
File? I've not implemented a servlet container. I suspect there are
some folks listening that have...
If so that would be a change from previous versions of J2EE -- at least
my understanding is that an application spawning threads is considered
bad practice.
The JSP-like approach would be more intrusive. The DefinitionsFactory
would have to store the modified date of a definition and the
getDefinition() method would have to check the date against the date of
the file and reload if necessary.
3) Should the enable/disable feature be through a context parameter
or
some other method?
How about an init parameter in the web deployment descriptor?
That's what I meant :-)
