Emmanuel Bourg updated CONFIGURATION-136: ----------------------------------------- Environment: (was: Operating System: other Platform: Other) Summary: Reloading may corrupt the configuration (was: [configuration] hot-reload may corrupt configuration) > Reloading may corrupt the configuration > --------------------------------------- > > Key: CONFIGURATION-136 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-136 > Project: Commons Configuration > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 1.1 > Reporter: nicolas de loof > Fix For: 1.5 > > > Current reloading process clears current properties and load updated values > from > resource reader. If an IO error occurs (or invalid format), the configuration > gets corrupted and the application becomes unstable. > It may be better for hot-reload to put loaded values into a temporary > Properties > and replace previous values only when reloading is successful. > It may also allow to use a 'currentlty-reloading' flag in the synchronized > 'reload' block to avoid blocking threads during a reload (they could access > safelly the 'old' properties until reload is finished) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
