suppose the property == PROPERTY FILE STARTS test = ${a}${a}${a} == PROPERTY FILE ENDS
where ${a} is not defined. If I'm using PropertiesConfiguration.getString("test"), the exception "unhandled exception: infinite loop in property interpolation of ${a}${a}${a}: a->a" is thrown. In my application, ${a} is undefined in the first servlet call, but defined in the second call. As a work around, I had to introduce some helper variables: == PROPERTY FILE STARTS a1 = ${a} a2 = ${a} a3 = ${a} test = ${a1}${a2}${a3} == PROPERTY FILE ENDS Would be nice, if this could be fixed some time.
