Hi Olver,

My code looks like:


PropertiesConfiguration config = new
PropertiesConfiguration("config.properties");
config.setReloadingStrategy(new FileChangedReloadingStrategy());



*config.properties*

foo = bar
include = distributors.properties



*distributors.properties*

dist.name = abc
dist.name = def


It works fine If I move the the key-values from *distributors.properties* to
*config.properties*.

When include files are processed, the content of these files is directly embedded into the PropertiesConfiguration object. The result is the same as if the configuration was loaded from a single file. The connection to the include files is lost, and thus the reloading strategy cannot detect any changes at the include files.

As a workaround you can use the DefaultConfigurationBuilder class [1] to load your configuration. This is slightly more complex than using PropertiesConfiguration directly, but offers more features and also supports reloading strategies for multiple configuration sources.

Just create a configuration definition file that declares your original properties file and the import file as configuration sources and declare reloading strategies for both. (Note that the include declaration should be removed from the original properties file.) The configuration created by the builder will contain the properties found in both files.

The tutorial in [1] explains how this is done.

Hi,
It seems changing the content of a included property file would not affect
Config file Automatic Reloading? Or did I missed some steps?


Thanks for answering,
Jimmy

Can you provide a short code fragment demonstrating how you setup your
configuration?
