Latest Version: 1.0.0rc19 (Habitat4J 1.0.0 Release Candidate 19)

Habitat4J intends to simplify configuration management in a multiple server, multiple application environment. However, it is designed to be easy to use -- even in a single application on a single server.

Habitat4J provides property management based on a two component model. The first component, called the "Server Identity," provides a system-wide context for which applications load their properties. The second component, called the "Property List," provides an application-wide property infrastructure that will load entries based on information in the Server Identity component.

Habitat4J Features include:

• XML-based configuration
• Property loading from filesystem or classpath resource
• Ability to set System and Security properties
• Name/value pairs, arrays, hashes, Javabean, Javabean array, and Javabean hash Property Values
• Optional property reloading at runtime - explicitly, on-the-fly, or per time interval
• Optional XSD Validation
• Optional Encoded and/or Encrypted Property Values
• Optional support for log4j

Uses for Habitat4J include:

• Any environment running multiple applications
• Staging, unit testing, and production server environments
• Server farm environments
