Good afternoon.
I am using commons configuration as follows:
commons_configuration.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<properties fileName="test.properties" config-name="test">
<reloadingStrategy refreshDelay="30000"
config-class="org.apache.commons.configuration.reloading.FileChangedReloadingStrategy"/>
</properties>
</configuration>
===============================================
CommonsConfiguration.java
----------------------------------------
public class CommonsConfiguration {
private static CombinedConfiguration configuration;
static {
try {
DefaultConfigurationBuilder builder = new DefaultConfigurationBuilder(new
File("/var/commons_configuration.xml"));
configuration = builder.getConfiguration(true);
} catch (ConfigurationException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public static CombinedConfiguration getCombinedConfiguration() {
return configuration;
}
}
=================================================================
When I use commons configuration as follows in any instance/static method:
String testMe= (String)
CommonsConfiguration.getCombinedConfiguration().getConfiguration("test").getProperty("test.me");
It work fine with reloading strategy. In other words when I change the
test.properties property value, the change gets reflected.
In some class I was accessing the property in a static block as follows:
public Sample {
static{
String testMe = String)
CommonsConfiguration.getCombinedConfiguration().getConfiguration("test").getProperty("test.me");
//do something
}
}
If a property is accessed in static block and the property value is changed,
the change does not get reflected.
Is there any work around to access a property in static block and have the
property change reflected.
I appreciate and thank you for your feed back.
Thanks
Venkat
