Yes, you've stumbled on one of the uglinesses of Commons Configuration. We should convert these to an Enum in the experimental branch.
The particular event you encountered is defined in AbstractFileConfiguration. /** Constant for the configuration reload event.*/ public static final int EVENT_RELOAD = 20; /** Constant fro the configuration changed event. */ public static final int EVENT_CONFIG_CHANGED = 21; Ralph On Feb 14, 2011, at 10:35 PM, Moein Enayati wrote: > Dear All > > I’ve just have an XMLConfiguration object initialized like this : > > > * * > > * this.xmlConfig = new XMLConfiguration("preferences.xml");* > > * this.xmlConfig.setAutoSave(true);* > > * this.xmlConfig.setReloadingStrategy(new > FileChangedReloadingStrategy());* > > > > > and a bean implements ConfigurationListener Interface like this : > > > > > *public abstract class DefaultBean implements > Serializable,ConfigurationListener {* > > *protected PropertyChangeSupport propertyChangeSupport = new > PropertyChangeSupport(this);* > > * public abstract String getXmlBeanPropertyAddress();* > > * public void configurationChanged(ConfigurationEvent event) {* > > *System.out.println(“Event Type Value is 20 ! >> ”+event.getType());* > > *}* > > *}* > > > Also I’ve registered my bean and the XMLConfigoration as listeners : > > > > > * this.xmlConfig.addConfigurationListener(myBeanInstance);* > > * > myBeanInstance.addPropertyChangeListener(getPropertyChangeListener());* > > > > > To test the AutoReloadEvents , simply I used a timer which gets a property > of my XMLConfiguration object each 2 Seconds and it seems working . > *myBeanInstance. > configurationChanged() * is invoked about two minutes after any change in > the source *preferences.xml*. > > * > * > > *But there is a small problem! * > > > The *event.getType()* returns a value of *20* which I could not find it in > *XMLConfiguration.EVENT_* constants. > > Would you please help me to find the mistake I’ve probably done or is there > any way to have a trace line? > > > > I could find only these EVENT_ constants : > > > > *XMLConfiguration.EVENT_ADD_NODES = 11* > > *XMLConfiguration.EVENT_ADD_PROPERTY = 1* > > *XMLConfiguration.EVENT_CLEAR = 4* > > *XMLConfiguration.EVENT_CLEAR_PROPERTY = 2* > > *XMLConfiguration.EVENT_CLEAR_TREE =10* > > *XMLConfiguration.EVENT_READ_PROPERTY =5* > > *XMLConfiguration.EVENT_SET_PROPERTY =3* > > *XMLConfiguration.EVENT_SUBNODE_CHANGED =12* > > > > > Thanks / Moein --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@commons.apache.org
