I am integrating Hystrix in to my existing project and I want to read the configuration values from an xml file instead of feeding the configuration properties using Configuration Manager. When the values are updated in the xml file I want Hystrix configuration to be updated at runtime.
This is the guide I am following:
https://github.com/Netflix/archaius/wiki/Users-Guide
I understand so far that I can use PolledConfigurationSource and the following code:
PolledConfigurationSource source = ...
AbstractPollingScheduler scheduler = ...
DynamicConfiguration configuration = new DynamicConfiguration(source, scheduler);
ConfigurationManager.install(configuration);
How do I point PolledConfigurationSource to an xml file to read the properties after a fixed time interval?
Following code did the trick for me
private void initializeConfiguration() {
// FixedDelayPollingScheduler is initialized with default system
// settings
// Fixed delay in milliseconds between two reads of the configuration
// URLs
// archaius.fixedDelayPollingScheduler.delayMills = 60000
// Initial delay in milliseconds of reading from the configuration
// source
// archaius.fixedDelayPollingScheduler.initialDelayMills = 30000
AbstractPollingScheduler scheduler = new FixedDelayPollingScheduler();
// Configuration source that brings dynamic changes to the configuration
// via polling
PolledConfigurationSource source = new XMLPolledConfigurationSource();
// Configuration that polls a PolledConfigurationSource according to the
// schedule set by a scheduler
DynamicConfiguration configuration = new DynamicConfiguration(source, scheduler);
ConfigurationManager.install(configuration);
// Registering configuration with an MBean and will be accessible for
// read and update via JConsole
ConfigJMXManager.registerConfigMbean(configuration);
}
XMLPolledConfigurationSource source code
public class XMLPolledConfigurationSource implements PolledConfigurationSource {
@SuppressWarnings("static-access")
@Override
public PollResult poll(boolean inital, Object checkPoint) throws Exception {
PollResult pollResult = null;
Map<String, Object> map = new HashMap<>();
// Code to read content from the resource
return pollResult.createFull(map);
}
}
Have you tried using setting this system variable as per documentation?
-Darchaius.configurationSource.additionalUrls=file:///apps/myapp/application.xml
By documentation I am referring to the Getting started web page https://github.com/Netflix/archaius/wiki/Getting-Started
