get the properties object loaded after the delayed refresh
Hi,
Below is the code for i wrote and seems at the propsConfig object gets refreshd after the delay but the result object has the old values still. How do i get the new values into the result object after the refresh. I am trying to create a Configuration listener as well and that alos seems not to work. The main objective for me is to get the properties object loaded with new values without JBOSS server restart. Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Srinivas J
Properties result = null;
Configuration config = null;
URL resourceURL = null;
FileChangedReloadingStrategy refreshStrategy = new FileChangedReloadingStrategy();
refreshStrategy.setRefreshDelay(refreshDelay);
PropertiesConfiguration propsConfig = new PropertiesConfiguration();
propsConfig.setFileName(name);
propsConfig.load();
propsConfig.setReloadingStrategy(refreshStrategy);
result = ConfigurationConverter.getProperties(propsConfig);

Even the listener is triggered by something retrieving a property. There is no thread doing polling.
However, if you are using this with JBoss 5+ I'm not sure the code below will work. I've had developers reporting that JBoss is returning vfsfile as the protocol when the name is turned into a URL and then ConfigurationUtil.fileFromURL fails. They have reported that using VFSFileChangedReloadingStrategy works fine with JBoss, although it isn't clear to me why since it doesn't explicitly support the vfsfile protocol.

Oliver,
Thanks so i misunderstood the reload startegies. But what about the listeners. Can we trigger signal to reload. I wanted to use ConfigurationChangedListener. But that still doesnt solve the purpose right. For more clarity i am pasting the unit test i wrote:
Regards,
srinivas jonnalagadda
@Test
public void testGetBuiltPropertyFileName() throws Exception {
PropertiesConfiguration config = new PropertiesConfiguration();
Properties props = null;
config.setFileName(TEST_FILE);
config.load();
FileChangedReloadingStrategy strategy = new FileChangedReloadingStrategy();
strategy.setRefreshDelay(500);
config.setReloadingStrategy(strategy);
assertEquals(config.getString("JEDI_ENVIRONMENT"),"TEST");
props = ConfigurationConverter.getProperties(config);
assertEquals(props.getProperty("JEDI_ENVIRONMENT"),"TEST");
Thread.sleep(200000);
assertEquals(config.getString("JEDI_ENVIRONMENT"),"TEST");
System.out.println("Test");
assertEquals(props.getProperty("JEDI_ENVIRONMENT"),"TEST");

Hi Srinivas,
somehow your code got mangled, so it is hardly readable.
But if I understand correctly, you obtain a Properties object from the
configuration using something like
Properties props = ConfigurationConverter.getProperties(config);
Then you expect that the properties are automatically refreshed by the
reloading strategy without any further action from your side, correct?
Well, the reloading strategies do not work that way unfortunately.
Currently, there is no implementation which actively monitors a
configuration file. Rather, the reloading strategy is only triggered
when the configuration object is accessed, e.g. if a property is
queried. FileChangedReloadingStrategy then checks the timestamp of the
configuration file. If it has changed, it reloads the configuration. So
you will only see new values if you query the configuration again.

Oliver,
Thanks for the reply. I wrote a JUNIT test and Below is the code. My aim was that when i set the refresh delay to 500 and after the initial test passed i put a thread.sleep for 2 minutes. when the thread sleeps i am changing the value of the JEDI_ENVIRONMENT to some thing else. When the thread wakes up I wanted to see the props refreshed with new values so that the tes tcase fails which means the program runs as expected. Pls help me.

your code looks good, therefore I am not sure whether I fully understand
your problem.
How can you tell that the properties configuration object is refreshed
correctly when the result object still has the old values? Do you get
other results if you access the configuration object directly, e.g. by
calling propsConfig.getString("someKey") ? (If so, this would indicate a
bug in the ConfigurationConverter.getProperties() implementation.)
