Note

Use the LocalDynamic MetadataProvider

Deployers will find the LocalDynamicMetadataProvider much better suited to loading metadata from a folder, though at a slight cost in cognitive load from needing to rename the files. That plugin consumes far fewer system resources and allows metadata to be dynamically added, and not just altered.

dropDOM

boolean


true

When true, the underlying XML DOM structure is dropped after processing a new metadata instance. Set to false to maintain the DOM in memory if there are supplemental options being used that operate more efficiently with the DOM maintained.

reloadChanges

boolean

Whether the individual files are to be reloadable.Note that the directory is NOT rescanned, so files that are added to the folder after startup will not be processed.
