Specify SymbolProvider at runtime
Hi, I was wondering what is the best way of doing this: From the JVM arguments, I want our developers to specify a location to a properties file, which will be treated as a symbol source. I tried a naive approach and got a recursion error on SymbolSource. In one of my modules I have this: @Contribute(SymbolSource.class) public void contributePropertiesFileAsSymbols( OrderedConfigurationSymbolProvider configuration) { configuration.add(DatabaseConfiguration, new ClasspathResourceSymbolProvider(dbPropertiesFileLocation), after:SystemProperties, before:ApplicationDefaults); } and essentially I'd like the variable dbPropertiesFileLocation to be something provided on the command line, i.e. -Dmyapp.db-properties-file-location=C:\mydatabase.properties Inside the properties file are several settings that I want to use as inject-able Symbols. That part already working when I provide the location in the contribute method, but now I want to tell Tapestry where that file lives on startup.

Re: Specify SymbolProvider at runtime
Thanks Thiago, you are right. I was so caught up in trying to use the Symbols that I forgot the obvious. :-) On Fri, Feb 14, 2014 at 2:38 PM, Thiago H de Paula Figueiredo thiag...@gmail.com wrote: On Fri, 14 Feb 2014 15:24:53 -0200, Daniel Jue teamp...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I was wondering what is the best way of doing this: Hi!
