However, if you are interested in seeing a sneak preview, then you can access it at: www.ciaranmchale.com/preview In a nutshell, Config4* is a configuration-file parser that it about 10 times better than anything else in existence. You might want to take a look at Config4* if you are developing a product or application that could benefit from having any of the following: (1) embedded configuration, (2) a local configuration file, (3) a centralised configuration repository, (4) schema validation for configuration data, or (5) a data-exchange file format. If you visit the preview web page, then I suggest you start by reading the "Config4* Getting Started Guide" document. And if you use a JMS (Java Message Service) product in your work, then I suggest you follow-up by reading Part III ("The Config4JMS Case Study") of the "Config4* Practical Usage Guide".
