[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-104?page=all ]
Oliver Heger resolved CONFIGURATION-104.
----------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
A new class PropertiesConfigurationLayout was added. Objects of this class are
associated with PropertiesConfiguration instances. They are able to preserve
many structure related aspects of a properties file.
Please have a look if this class fits your needs.
> [configuration] Preserve file structure (line comments) when re-saving

> Key: CONFIGURATION-104
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-104
> Project: Commons Configuration
> Issue Type: Bug
> Environment: Operating System: other
> Platform: Other
> Reporter: Oded Noam
> Assigned To: Oliver Heger
> Attachments: preserve-comments-patch, preserve-comments-patch-java1.3

>
> This bug applies when an application allows both manual editing of its
> configuration files, and manipulation of the configuration via software.
> When
> saving the configuration file after changing, its file structure - file,
> section and line comments - will all be lost. Next time a human tries to edit
> the configuration file, all property documentation will be lost.
> I have created a fix for this problem, applicable to PropertiesConfiguration
> and XMLPropertiesConfiguration. The fix allows these classes to preserve a
> list of comment lines preceding each property line. By default, comments are
> not preserved; in case the comment preservation is required, it should be
> enabled prior to loading the configuration file using:
> AbstractFileConfiguration.setDefaultPreserveComments(true);
> The fix is implemented and tested, attached as a patch file to this bug.
