If you are going to do another release, please consider adding a
configuration.subsets(String) method to return a list of subset
configurations that match the string query. This corresponds to the
configuration.subset(String) method that returns a single
SubsetConfiguration. I mentioned this in a previous thread [1]. I hope it
can be added in short order. I'm not sure whether returning a List or an
Iterator would be best? In any case, I would use it like this (assuming,
for now, that it returns a list)...
List subConfigs = config.subsets("tables.table");
for (Iterator iter = subConfigs.iterator(); iter.hasNext();) {
SubsetConfiguration subConfig = (SubsetConfiguration) iter.next();
}
...where if I was only trying to get one subset configuration at a time, I
might do...
SubsetConfiguration subConfig = (SubsetConfiguration)
config.subset("tables.table(0)");
Of course, I always use the subset configuration in the context of a
loop/iteration, since I need to deal with all of them (and where there may
be any number "tables.table" entries in the XML), not just one at a time
leading to the rather ugly while loop example I resorted to in the thread I
referenced. Does this seem reasonable to add to the next release?
