[jira] Commented: (HIVEMIND-178) Allow Conditional Contributions based on symbols (from SymbolSources)

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVEMIND-178?page=comments#action_12425488 ] 
            
Knut Wannheden commented on HIVEMIND-178:
-----------------------------------------

Currently the contribution condition expressions as evaluated and applied at registry construction time. At this time the symbol sources have not been initialized and are hence not availiable. Thus your enhancement request would mean a rather big change.

As an alternative you might want to consider manually reading the file and setting corresponding system properties before constructing the registry. If this is satisfactory for your development/testing purposes we would probably close this issue for now.

> Conditional Contributions are really handy during testing and I now have a number of features that I can turn on or off during development/testing. However, now there are several options, it's not particularly convenient to configure them through system properties; it would be nicer to have a single file containing all the flags.
> I can create this single file and expose it as a SymbolSource, but conditional contributions cannot use the value of a symbol from a SymbolSource.
> Please could you enhance the conditional contribution expressions to allow me to specify the name of a symbol from a SymbolSource.
