Robert, I think my message was a little garbled.. Digester gives my brain a workout! What I did was this:
digester.addObjectCreate("configuration/properties", "org.apache.commons.configuration.PropertiesConfiguration"); digester.addSetProperties("configuration/properties"); digester.addCallMethod("configuration/properties", "load"); digester.addCallMethod("configuration/properties", "setBasePath", 1, new String[] { "java.lang.String" }); ObjectParamRule opr = new ObjectParamRule(0, getBasePath()); digester.addRule("configuration/properties", opr); Where getBasePath() brings in the value I want to set as the setBasePath param... I found an example in one of the test cases.. At least, I think this works!
