Oliver Heger commented on CONFIGURATION-253:
--------------------------------------------
The behavior since (I think) the 1.2 release is that a load() call sets the
sourceURL if none has been set so far. This is required for supporting features
like auto save and reloading strategies for configurations created this way
(there is no hint in the docs that a source must be set explicitly for using
these features, so I assume this is alright). What my fix does is to always
keep the getFile() method in sync with the sourceURL; so if a sourceURL exists,
getFile() will now return a corresponding File object.
Note that the URL is only modified on an initial load() call, i.e. if already a
source was set, it won't be changed by a following load() call. This is
intended. It allows for instance the easy creation of combined configurations:
you can call load() as often as you like on a file-based configuration; the
properties of the single sources will be accumulated. Then you can save the
accumulated properties to the original source.

> Taken from the maillinglist:
> > I have a properties configuration which is loaded without a problem.
> > Later in my application I will access the file which is aligned to

> >
> > log.debug("product conf base path " + _productConf.getBasePath());
> >
> >
> >
> > The methods _productConf.getFile() and _productConf.getFileName()

> Thomas,
> you are right, the conversions between a base path, a file name, and a File
> are not always consistent. How did you load the configuration (this
> determines, which internal fields are set)?
> I would recommend to work with URLs, i.e. the method getURL(). A file-based
> configuration's URL is always defined.
> If you like, you can open a Jira ticket for this problem.
> Thanks.

> The file is loaded in this way:
> _productConf = new ProductConfiguration();
> _productConf.load(FileTools.getPathForList(_propductPathList).getPath());
> means the load method gets an String and not an File.
