Emmanuel Bourg commented on CONFIGURATION-272: ---------------------------------------------- ConfigurationUtils.copy() calls setProperty on the target configuration with the value returned from getProperty() on the source configuration. The target configuration performs a new value parsing but it should not. A workaround is to disable the parsing of the delimiter before copying, and restore it after the copy : target.setDelimiterParsingDisabled(true); ConfigurationUtils.copy(source, target); target.setDelimiterParsingDisabled(false); > ConfigurationUtils.copy results in escaped "," characters no longer being > escaped > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CONFIGURATION-272 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-272 > Project: Commons Configuration > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 1.4 > Environment: commons 1.4 > Reporter: John Meagher > Fix For: 1.5 > > > When using ConfigurationUtils.copy to go between configuration formats any > escaped out "," characters are put into the output configuration without the > escape character. This results in a different value being returned from > getString calls as it now things the property is a list. If 4 escape > characters are used instead of the expected 1 then the copy will end up with > the correct value, but then the original will end up with the escape > character as part of the property value. > Example: > SomeLongProperty=This is a test\, it is only a test > # Ends up right in the copy, but not right in the original > SomeOtherProperty=This is also a test\\\\, it is also only a test > After copy: > # Missing "\" before "," > SomeLongProperty=This is a test, it is only a test > SomeOtherProperty=This is also a test\, it is also only a test -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
