Emmanuel Bourg resolved CONFIGURATION-362.
------------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
> XMLPropertyListConfiguration doesn't handle empty dictionary correctly
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CONFIGURATION-362
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-362
> Project: Commons Configuration
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.6
> Environment: Mac OS X 10.5.6 JDK 1.5
> Reporter: Kent McPhee
> Assignee: Emmanuel Bourg
> Fix For: 1.7
>
>
> Empty "dict" elements are not handled properly. During printing of a
> configuration, configuration nodes that have no children and no value are
> assumed to be "strings" (see XMLPropertyListConfiguration.java:printValue()'s
> last "else" clause). <dict/> is parsed in such a way (see startElement()
> and endElement() of that same file) that it ends up creating a configuration
> node with no children and no value. Thus printing out a parsed property list
> will print <string>null</string> everywhere an empty dictionary was in the
> input.
