http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43619 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2007-10-26 11:29 ------- I'm not sure I understand that completely. > What I meant as hard to explain is that in either case you can't say something like the default value of this new property is some existing class that the user will be familiar. It's simply DefaultPropertyResolver.resolveProperty, which does exactly what 404-409 lines in OptionConverter did. However, there's one major issue I see with your version - no access to 'local' properties, and no ability to choose order. With setting a 'source', as opposed to 'strategy', you have to hardcode the overriding order, either the custom source overrides local properties, or local properties override the custom source. Also, your version depends on reflection, does it not? And that is hardly easier for Joe Newbie, no compile-time checks, etc. With 'strategies' you can have things like system properties "x" and "x.allowOverride=false", and a strategy which disallows overriding by local properties if a property with ".allowOverride" suffix and "false" value exists. Well, why not have both? Have "log4j.propertyResolver" for 'strategies' and "log4j.propertySource" for 'sources', with the default being a use-source-strategy with "java.lang.System.getProperty(String)"? -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
