[Configuration] How to get a list of the config files in configuration.xml

[Michael MATTOX <mi...@verideon.com>]

I'm implementing an auto-refresh function for the Configuration.  To do this
I need to get a list of the config files listed in configuration.xml.  I
looked through the Javadocs and couldn't find a way to get the list.  Is it
possible with the Configuration API?  If not, should I use the digester
project to read in the list??

Thanks,
Michael Mattox

I think there is no easy way to get the list of files that have been 
loaded through the Configuration API.

It is possible to access the configuration objects that have been loaded 
from the <overload> section (through the CompositeConfiguration object 
returned by ConfigurationFactory). If you cast these to the correct 
types you may be able to query the file name. Configurations loaded from 
the <union> section are combined to a large configuration object and the 
information from which sources it has been constructed is lost.

In short, the Configuration API won't be a great help for you. So as a 
workaround it might make sense to use digester. It is planned to add 
reloading features to Configuration, so such hacks will hopefully become 
unnecessary in the future.
