Owner 1.0.5 Released
v1.0.5 contains following enhancements and bug fixes.
Enhancements
- Support for XML.
OWNER is now able to load not only from properties files, but also from XML files. The XML
can follow the Java XML Properties format,
or can be freely defined by the user.
(See more in the documentation: XML support and see
#5). - Added method
registerLoader()
toConfigFactory
, so the user can define new loaders for more file formats.
(See #55). - Support for
classpath:
URLs in HotReload. Also it works with the default files associated to the mapping
interface, when@Sources
is not specified. - Added method
Set<String> propertyNames()
in theAccessible
interface.
(See #46). - Added Event support for property changes and reload.
Both the events can now be transactional: the listener can be notified by an event before and after a property change
or a reload takes place. The listener can check what is changed and eventually rollback the reload or property change
operation.
(See more in the documentation: Event support and see
#47). - Added non-static
ConfigFactory
, so one can create independent instances of OWNERFactory
objects.
(See #43). - Added implementation on
hashCode()
andequals()
. - Added serialization capability to OWNER
Config
objects, so now they can be transferred through the network or
transformed to byte streams.
(See #54). - Allow
@ConverterClass
annotation to override default converters (i.e. primitive types, etc). - The interfaces
Reloadable
,Mutable
andAccessible
now extend fromConfig
, so you don't need anymore to extend
directly from Config. For instance, your interface can now extend just from Mutable to generate an object which is
also a validConfig
object that can be instantiated by theConfigFactory
:
Site Enhancements

gh-pages
branch tomaster
