We all should know that Configuration Composite is an Entity, read from an EntityStore and runtime modifiable just like any Entity.
We also know that if it is not found in the Entity Store, the value is read from a properties file, named after the identity of the Service Composite the configuration belongs to. I am now adding that in addition to Properties files, the file can be read via ValueSerialization instead. I am also adding that YAML is a format we intend to support (I really like that format for Config data). But currently there is no YAML ValueSerialization extension available. If someone feels itchy to help out; Creating a ValueSerialization extension for YAML, with the help of SnakeYaml or YamlBeans. Since the code is virtually the same inside the Configuration, I will rely on this will get done sooner or later, and my tests are only covering JSON and XML for now. Hopefully done today.
