Oliver Heger commented on CONFIGURATION-607:
--------------------------------------------
This is certainly a useful feature, and I also had thought about creating the
definition for the combined configuration dynamically.
As described in
http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-configuration/userguide/howto_combinedbuilder.html#Setting_up_a_CombinedConfigurationBuilder,
there is a hook which can be used to have more flexibility when defining the
combined configuration: a builder can be passed in that returns the
configuration with the definition. We could provide special builder
implementations which construct such a definition configuration based on
several criteria, e.g. all files in a directory matching a specific pattern.
I am pretty convinced that this functionality can be added without incompatible
changes in the API. So it could be added after the 2.0 release; we could focus
on getting 2.0 out first.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-607
> Project: Commons Configuration
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: File reloading
> Affects Versions: 2.0
> Reporter: Dzmitry Shylovich
>
> I have the following configuration files:
> prop_test1.xml
> prop_test2.xml and so force.
> There is one default file - default.xml.
> And I have to combine prop_test1.xml with default.xml and get single
> combined configuration.
> prop_test2.xml with default.xml and get another combined configuration.
> With current solution I have to specify a configuration definition file for
> every pair. I think it will be nice to have the ability to programmatically
> specify files for ReloadingCombinedConfigurationBuilder.
> Something like:
> ReloadingCombinedConfigurationBuilder builder = new
> ReloadingCombinedConfigurationBuilder()
> .configure(params.fileBased().addFile(new File("test1.xml").addFile(new
> File("default.xml")));
