Yanlin Ye created CONFIGURATION-535:
---------------------------------------
Summary: Add getters for the initial parameters of
DatabaseConfiguration
Key: CONFIGURATION-535
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-535
Project: Commons Configuration
Issue Type: Wish
Reporter: Yanlin Ye
Priority: Trivial
We use database configuration to support a centralized location for
configuration properties common to some distributed components of our
application, and it works great. In order for our application components to
report issues (especially when we have database connection issues), we extended
database configuration to maintain a backup cache for all properties and update
the cache whenever a property is accessed. This way, the cached properties can
be used if the properties cannot be loaded from the database. The extension
works as expected and can report issues even if the database connection becomes
not available.
The only (minor) thing is that, when we extended DatabaseConfiguration, we had
to maintain another copy of the initial parameters such as table name,
name/key/value columns, etc, because DatabaseConfiguration does not provide
access to them. I was wondering whether or not the following can be added to
DatabaseConfiguration to make it easier to be extended.
- Add getters for initialization parameters, and
- Change private void close(Connection, Statement) to protected for reuse.
Please ignore if you don't think the suggested changes can be useful to users.
