> I use a PropertiesRealm with a file url. This works fine when initially loading the properties file. Yet I was puzzled to find out that reloading does not work.
> I debugged and found the problem:
> First of all the method isFileModified() checks for the lastModified date. Yet this returns 0 if the file does not exist. This is always the case when using the prefix "file:". Therefore the file was never reloaded because the reload file was checking the last modfied date of a file that was never there.
> I have several problems with that:
> 1. Frankly speaking has anyone ever tested that stuff? To me it does not look like that and I think Shiro can do better.
> 2. The isModified method should react if the file is not existing (any more). Because maybe someone deleted in by accident which causes problems for the next startup.
> 3. The initial file loading and the reloading should use the same code. So at least then its clear that if the initial load succeeds so does the reloading.
> The quick fix is pretty straightforward - just remove the prefix "file:" from the resource path::
>     private boolean isFileModified() {
>         File propertyFile = new File(ResourceUtils.stripPrefix(this.resourcePath));
>         long currentLastModified = propertyFile.lastModified();
>         if (currentLastModified > this.fileLastModified) {
>             this.fileLastModified = currentLastModified;
>             return true;
>         } else {
>             return false;
>         }
>     }
> I will hopefully be able to supply a patch soon.
> Thanks,
> Jan
