To enabled service, and hence configuration, reloading you edit the service definition in the service configuration file, $IDP_HOME/conf/service.xml. Each Service element can has two optional attributes that control service reloading:
- configurationResourcePollingFrequency - the frequency, in seconds, the service's configuration(s) are polled for changes
- configurationResourcePollingRetryAttempts - number of times the IdP will attempt to reload a failed configuration before giving up, default value of 3.
If configurationResourcePollingFrequency is not specified configuration files are not loadedservices are never reloaded. If a configuration resource fails to load because it can't be read, is invalid, or for some any other reason the IdP will continue to use the previous configuration. If the configuration file fails to load a number of times equal to configurationResourcePollingRetryAttempts, the IdP will stop trying to reload the file. A restart will be required to re-enabling polling.
