Yanlin Ye commented on CONFIGURATION-535:
-----------------------------------------
Thanks for your quick response.
Yes, the close() method is for convenient purpose. If you are moving away from
the direct DB connections/statements, I guess it will no longer be necessary.
The reason I had asked for its exposure is that I copied several methods from
the original implementation to apply my desired changes. I had to copy the
close() method as well :(
By the way, thanks a lot for the great work on apache projects! I've used some
libraries and programs and all worked great.
If my extension to the DatabaseConfiguration is of any value to others, I am
more than happy to provide the source.

> 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.
