Charles Honton commented on CONFIGURATION-327: ---------------------------------------------- Alternatively, since the ini format does not allow brackets in a key name, include brackets in the section part of the key name. The example above would contain: default = ok dotted.var1 = default [section1].dotted.var1 = foo [section1].var2 = doodle This would break prior clients expecting a particular name aliasing. This would not break clients properly appending the section name to the key name to get the property. > INIConfiguration Global parameters alias sectional parameters > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CONFIGURATION-327 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-327 > Project: Commons Configuration > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Documentation, Format > Affects Versions: 1.5 > Reporter: Charles Honton > > After reading the following file with INIConfiguration > default = ok > dotted.var1 = default > [section1] > dotted.var1 = foo > var2 = doodle > The set of sections returned by INIConfiguration.getSections() includes > "dotted" and "section1". I did not expect a section "dotted". -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
