The Obix Framework: Software Configuration Made Easy

"The Obix Framework simplifies software configuration by providing a standard means, of encoding configuration data in XML, and of loading such data into an application so that the data can be accessed using basic Java™ objects. It provides a host of powerful, yet simple, features that simplify the representation, and use of configuration information. These features, to name but a few, include: the ability to represent complex configuration data (file) trees, by providing links between configuration documents; modularization of configuration data; automatic change detection and auto-reload of configuration data; simple integration into Java™ applications using little or no custom code; support for enterprise scale (J2EE™) applications; configuration event listeners; a flat learning curve; and extensibility."
