I am following the approach described here: https://github.com/jeroenbellen/blog-manage-and-reload-spring-properties, the only difference is that in my case, the properties are being used in multiple classes so I have put them all in one utility class CloudConfig and I refer to its variables using the getters. This is what the class looks like:
@Configuration
@RefreshScope
public class CloudConfig {
static volatile int count; // 20 sec
@Value("${config.count}")
public void setCount(int count) {
this.count = count;
}
public static int getCount() {
return count;
}
}
and I use the variable count in other classes like CloudConfig.getCount(). I am able to load the properties on bootup just fine but I am not able to dynamically update them on the fly. Can anyone tell what I am doing wrong? If instead of making this config class, I do exactly what the tutorial describes everything works fine but I am having trouble adapting it to my usecase. Can anybody tell what I am missing?
