Re: [equinox-dev] ConfigAdmin getConfiguration from external storage

Hello,

What we actually need is to be able to use a custom configuration storage along with the ConfigAdmin's internal storage, without moving configurations from the custom storage to the internal storage. The goal is to use the ConfigAdmin's internal storage for global configurations, while the custom storage for more component-specific configurations. Both have nothing in common and should not be mixed up. We want to use the Equinox implementation of ConfigAdmin, without forking the code or reimplementing it. Could you propose a way to achieve this?

Regards,
Lazar

Hi Philip,

The normal way to hook config admin into an external data storage is
to write a management agent that *calls* getConfiguration() and
supplies the data via an update to the Configuration object. That way
your agent can work with any config admin implementation.

Typically config admin implementations use their own internal storage
area for persistence. If you want to customise that internal storage
then you may need to write your own implementation (though I think at
least the Felix implementation has an extension mechanism so you don't
have to write the whole thing).

Regards,
Neil
