Configuration priority during startup

Hi All,

I'm facing an mismatching behavior in AEM 5.6.1/6.0 with documentation. In docs, there is a next priority of configs (https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/cq/5-6-1/deploying/configuring_osgi.html)

Resolution Order at Startup

The following order of precedence is used:

  1. Repository nodes with type sling:OsgiConfig under /apps/*/config....
  2. Repository nodes with type sling:OsgiConfig under /libs/*/config....
  3. Any .config files from <cq-installation-dir>/crx-quickstart/launchpad/config/.... on the local file system.

So a generic configuration in /libs can be masked by a project specific configuration in /apps.

However, when I created a node with name org.apache.sling.commons.log.LogManager and type sling:OsgiConfig and added the property

org.apache.sling.commons.log.level=info

and in launchpad\config\org\apache\sling\commons\log\LogManager.config I have:

org.apache.sling.commons.log.level="error"

 

I see that level for LogManager is "Error" instance was rebooted.

 

It gets more important for me because it was a question about configuration priority on AEM Developer Certification.

In this article - order of precedence of selecting a configuration is,

1) /apps
2) /libs
3) File system

Thank you Scott,

The article is really helpful! However it looks like file system configuration has the highest priority during startup.

I'm just wondering what will be a correct answer on AEM Developer Cert Exam? That was a question about precedence of configs. I suppose that I have to follow real behavior rather then documentation. Am I?

I'm also thinking about sending an issue regarding documentation. Where is the best place to report it?
