[Dev][GSoC] How to read configurations from a xml file

[Hasini Witharana <ha...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I am working on OpenID Connect Handler project. Currently the OpenID
Provider's meta data is hard coded in a separate class. I want to make
these meta data configurable in a higher level not in the code level.
Therefor I was thinking about using a xml configuration file to store the
meta data.

Are there any examples I can refer for this particular task?

Thank You.

Hasini,

Are you thinking of storing these as OSGi configurations? This would allow
you to provide the configurations as a file or view / modify them in the
OSGi console.

Nate has a pretty good write up of using OSGi R6 Annotations to configure
an OSGi service:

You could also check out the File Optimizer project in the Sling Whiteboard
which uses OSGi configurations to provide default values which can then be
overridden by providing a configuration file:
https://github.com/apache/sling-whiteboard/blob/master/file-optim/src/main/java/org/apache/sling/fileoptim/optimizers/JpegFileOptimizer.java

Hope that helps! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions, the OSGi
configurations are awesome, but are a bit complex to configure the first
time.

Regards,
Dan
