suppose the property

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.
Cheers, Beat
Beat,
thanks for spotting this.
In [Commons Lang] there is a class VariableFormatter, which deals with
similar variable substitution stuff, but was not released yet. This
class is more powerful and should be able to handle your situation. When
this class gets released I plan to use it for [configuration]'s
interpolation mechanism. So this problem should be solved then.
