[jira] [Commented] (ARTEMIS-601) Add support for automatic configuration reloading

["Lionel Cons (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARTEMIS-601?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15358420#comment-15358420 ] 

Lionel Cons commented on ARTEMIS-601:
-------------------------------------

Our brokers have frequent security settings changes. With ActiveMQ 5.x, this is very easy: simply change the {{activemq.xml}} file and the change will be taken into account a few seconds later. Since the configuration file is the master, a restart of the broker maintains these security settings.

Changing the security settings via JMX would require much more work for us and leave us with a runtime configuration different from the configuration file. We do not want/need ARTEMIS-66's configuration persistence. Our brokers, like almost all our services, are configured via configuration files managed with ad-hoc tools such as Puppet. It much easier to make sure the configuration files are what they should rather than using service-specific API (JMX, REST...) to alter the runtime configurations.

> ActiveMQ 5.x does support automatic configuration reloading and this includes security related configuration (amongst other things), see http://activemq.apache.org/runtime-configuration.html.
> In our environment, it is very important to change the security settings without having to restart the broker.This works fine with ActiveMQ 5.x and the {{runtimeConfigurationPlugin}}.
> ARTEMIS-579 clarified the reload of the JAAS files. This is good but it is only one half of the security related configuration since the rest appears in {{<security-settings>}}.
> Could Artemis please also implement automatic configuration reloading, at least for the security configuration?
> Of course, the more settings can be changed without restarting the broker, the better...
