Oliver Heger updated CONFIGURATION-136: --------------------------------------- Fix Version/s: (was: 1.7) 1.8 > Reloading may corrupt the configuration > --------------------------------------- > > Key: CONFIGURATION-136 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-136 > Project: Commons Configuration > Issue Type: Bug > Components: File reloading > Affects Versions: 1.1 > Reporter: nicolas de loof > Fix For: 1.8 > > > 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.
