adding a resource loader dynamically

[Anthony Mutiso 2 <an...@utilitynet.net>]

Is there a way to add a resource loader programatically, rather then via the
property configurator.

I want to create a resource loader that supports dynamic runtimestate and
found the that there is no way to pass state to a resources loader after it
has been configured and loaded. The default ResourceManagerImpl does export
an API to access the resource loaders so that I could call an init method on
my new loader to initialize it.

Thanks for the help

Anthony

Sure - anything can be added programmatically before calling init().  The
properties configuration is just a convenience for the lazy, a group of
which I am a proud member. :)

You can just roll or wrap your own loader, and load it at runtime.  Because
we don¹t let you hand a living resource loader (for some reason... Need to
see if we can change that...) to velocity, you can use the application
attribute to pass an object to the loader through which you can communicate
between application level and core level.

See the dev guide.  Remember, v1.3 or newer.
