Description : API to handle application configuration through Java properties file
OWNER was written because the code dealing with the configuration is
frequently repetitive, redundant, it’s made of static classes, singletons,
long list of methods just doing conversion from a string property to a named
method returning a Java primitive or a basic Java object.
OWNER solves the problem providing an interface object that
- is easy to mock, easy to pass to other objects (via dependency injection);
- declaratively maps the configuration without any redundancy;
- can easily expand the loading logic in order to have multiple configuration
files, multiple level of overriding (global configuration, user-level,
defaults, etc);
- doesn’t need to have an actual properties file backing the configuration,
if one uses @DefaultValue.
- provides a lot of features, like hot reloading, variables expansion, etc;
- leaves one free to do everything one is already doing with
java.util.Properties;
- does support a super powerful type conversion, which includes arrays,
collections, many standard Java objects, and even the possibility to plug
one's own conversion logic.
The package is needed as a dependency of gatk, which is a packaging target of
Debian-med team. It will be maintained in this team.
