org.apache.commons.configuration2.reloading.VFSFileHandlerReloadingDetector

All Implemented Interfaces:

ReloadingDetector

public class VFSFileHandlerReloadingDetector
extends FileHandlerReloadingDetector

A file-based reloading strategy that uses Commons VFS to determine when a file was changed.

This reloading strategy is very similar to FileHandlerReloadingDetector, except for the fact that it uses VFS and thus can deal with a variety of different configuration sources.

This strategy only works with FileConfiguration instances.

1.7
