Hi folks, While trying to figure out how the ISIS configuration/property file reading works I added some log statements to PropertiesReader. This resulted in the following log snippet related to property file reading.

But them I discoverd ResourceStreamSourceCompsite. While looking at the implementation I discovered that IMHO it is not a Composite at all. The following snippet comes from this class: for (final ResourceStreamSource rss : resourceStreamSources) { final InputStream resourceStream = rss.readResource(resourcePath); if (resourceStream != null) { return resourceStream; } } In it the composite bails out after the first stream that is successfully read. Shouldn't a composite compose a stream of all ResourceStreamSource's contained inside the composite? (Me wonders how a write should work in that case) Regards, Minto -- ir. ing.
