Description

Two code examples that fail to detect / load file changes:

=============================================================================Sample
1: If properties file location is determined by searching the classpath,
changes are not detected.

try {

PropertiesConfiguration propConfig = new
PropertiesConfiguration("commons.properties");

FileChangedReloadingStrategy strategy = new FileChangedReloadingStrategy();

strategy.setConfiguration(propConfig);

strategy.setRefreshDelay(500);

strategy.init();

for (;

{ String prop1 = propConfig.getString("prop1"); System.out.println(Calendar.getInstance().getTime() + " : " + strategy.reloadingRequired() + " : " + prop1); Thread.sleep(1000); }

} catch (Throwable t)

{ t.printStackTrace(); }


=============================================================================
Sample 2: If properties file location is specified, changes are not detected
but not loaded.

try {

PropertiesConfiguration propConfig = new
PropertiesConfiguration("d:/tmp/commons.properties");

FileChangedReloadingStrategy strategy = new FileChangedReloadingStrategy();

strategy.setConfiguration(propConfig);

strategy.setRefreshDelay(500);


strategy.init();

for (;;){ String prop1 = propConfig.getString("prop1"); System.out.println(Calendar.getInstance().getTime() + " : " + strategy.reloadingRequired() + " : " + prop1); Thread.sleep(1000); }


} catch (Throwable t){ t.printStackTrace(); }
