Essentially the FileChangedReloadingStrategy from Commons Configuration was doing this: private File fileFromURL(URL url) | { | if (JAR_PROTOCOL.equals(url.getProtocol())) | { | String path = url.getPath(); | try | { | return ConfigurationUtils.fileFromURL(new URL(path.substring(0, | path.indexOf('!')))); | } | catch (MalformedURLException mex) | { | return null; | } | } | else | { | return ConfigurationUtils.fileFromURL(url); | } | } | I extended it as follows and it's working now: private File fileFromURL(URL url) | { | if (VFSFILE_PROTOCOL.equals(url.getProtocol())) | { | String path = url.getPath(); | try | { | return ConfigurationUtils.fileFromURL(new URL("file:" + path)); | } | catch (MalformedURLException mex) | { | return null; | } | } | else if (JAR_PROTOCOL.equals(url.getProtocol())) | { | String path = url.getPath(); | try | { | return ConfigurationUtils.fileFromURL(new URL(path.substring(0, | path.indexOf('!')))); | } | catch (MalformedURLException mex) | { | return null; | } | } else | return ConfigurationUtils.fileFromURL(url); | } | Can you see anything wrong with this approach?
