well, such a behaviour would be different from all other configuration
implemnetations and I don't think it is worth the hassle. You can have the same
functionality with CompositeConfiguration either by using two files or two
subsections:
========= %< ==========
app.ini:
[section1]
foo=10
defaults.ini:
[section1]
foo=30
val=50
CompositeConfiguration config = new CompositeConfiguration();
config.add(new IniConfiguration("app.ini"));
config.add(new IniConfiguration("defaults.ini"));
assertEquals(10,config.getInt("section1.foo"));
assertEquals(50,config.getInt("section1.val"));
========= %< ==========
or
========= %< ==========
app.ini:
[default]
foo=30
val=50
[section1]
foo=10
CompositeConfiguration config = new CompositeConfiguration();
Configuration iniConfig = new IniConfiguration("app.ini");
config.add(iniConfig.subset("section1"));
config.add(iniConfig.subset("default"));
assertEquals(10,config.getInt("foo"));
assertEquals(50,config.getInt("val"));
========= %< ==========
this mechanism is portable for all configurations (even mixed ones). You might
keep your defaults in a DB and overwrite some from command line.
