Hi all,
i'm playing with commons-configuration HEAD, extracted from svn rep and locally built. Suppose i have i configuration definition file like this, that i pass to DefaultConfigurationBuilder , where ${this.app.external.override.properties.file} is defined as a System property.
<configuration>
  <system config-name="system" />
  <properties config-name="extOverride" fileName=
"${this.app.external.override.properties.file}" />
  <properties config-name="intClasspath" fileName=
"conf/internal.properties"/>
</configuration>

Given that the configuration file is treated as an XMLConfiguration this appears to be a legitimate construct. The problem is that when the subnode configuration for "extOverride" is built the property that defines the filename value is interpolated against the subnode configuration itself which obviously is still empty, it's a sort of a cat chasing its tail.

In my opinion while building a CombinedConfiguration the interpolation for the subnodes should be done against the parent config, the CombinedConfiguration itself. This would allow to define variables in the configuration file that could be solved against the previous nodes.

Am i doing something wrong? Or is there a way to force the described behaviour?

In the meanwhile, my thanks and compliments for the best and most complete configuration package i've ever seen!

Gabriele



yes, it should work as you expect. I will have a look at the code and see if something is wrong. Will report back when I find something. Thank you for spotting this.

Oliver
