If you do wish to refactor your config access code away from your existing Settings class, Tim's Giulius looks simple and lightweight, though I happen to prefer are more strongly typed approach, so I'm currently enjoying using https://github.com/brianm/config-magic. I wrote a tiny wrapper around that to make it easy to use with Guice and any commons-config configuration source: https://github.com/palominolabs/config-inject. No shortage of options for configuration handling… :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "google-guice" group.
