http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34103 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-03-21 20:26 ------- I don't expect getString() to throw an exception right away, I expect it to be written like this: Object o = getProperty(key); // throws NoSuchElementException if no such prop. return ConvertUtils.convert(o, String.class); // try to convert to string // if not possible, throw // ConvertException or, more generically: public Object getProperty(String key, Class cls) { return ConvertUtils.convert(getProperty(key), cls); } (the exceptions should be runtime) therefore, getString() will return a concatenation, and getInt will throw an exception, as should be the case. if the user wants to get the first element of the list, he can freely do it: getList(key).get(0). -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
