[Apache Wiki <wi...@apache.org>]

Dear Wiki user,

You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Jakarta-commons Wiki" for change notification.

The following page has been changed by EmmanuelBourg:
http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-commons/Configuration

The comment on the change is:
Reloading is now included in the API, not need to publish a workaround anymore

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   ||Do you have a good example, add it here!||
  ["HierarchicalXMLConfiguration Example"]
  
- = Auto-Configuration-Reloading-Class =
- 
- AndresValdez:
- I have made an Auto-Configuration-Reloading Class.
- 
-  1. This class implements the Runnable interface and inherits from PropertiesConfiguration.
-  2. This class also has a Singleton behavior, so there is only one Configuration class at time, provided every X milliseconds, read from your config.txt file.
- 
- == Advantages: ==
-  1.Only a big one: You can edit your configuration file at any time you want, and your changes will take effect immediately!!!
-  So your application will change it's behavior at runtime!! :D
- 
- 
- You can see the implementation here:
