Support automatic reloading for configuration files in JBoss VFS
----------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CONFIGURATION-381
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-381
Project: Commons Configuration
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: File reloading
Affects Versions: 1.6
Reporter: Panagiotis Astithas
Priority: Minor
Attachments: commons-configuration-vfs.patch
Using Commons Configuration with JBoss 5 presents problems when storing files
in the JBoss directories and referencing them with relative paths. This applies
to configuration files stored in the traditional spot for JBoss configuration,
like JBOSS_HOME/server/default/conf/. More specifically, when
FileChangedReloadingStrategy tries to resolve the file path it gets a vfsfile:
URL from the JBoss-modified context classloader, that it can't parse. The
following patch adds support for this URL scheme by fixing the resource URL to
avoid VFS, and allows Commons Configuration to properly recognize file
modifications in the file system.
