Jim Prantzalos updated CONFIGURATION-481: ----------------------------------------- Description: With Commons Configuration 1.6, I was able to declare a variable in a properties file, and then reference it in a XML file using the ${myvar} syntax. For example: {{monospaced}} global.properties ----- myvar=abc test.xml ----- <products> <product name="abc"> <desc>${myvar}-product</desc> </product> </products> config.xml ----- <properties fileName="global.properties"/> <xml fileName="test.xml" config-name="test"> <expressionEngine config-class="org.apache.commons.configuration.tree.xpath.XPathExpressionEngine"/> </xml> {{monospaced}} When I try to retrieve the value, like so: {{monospaced}} combinedConfig.getConfiguration("test").configurationAt("products/product[@name='abc']", true).getString("desc") {{monospaced}} I get "${myvar}-product" instead of "abc-product". This was working in Commons Configuration 1.6, but seems to be broken in 1.7 and 1.8. was: With Commons Configuration 1.6, I was able to declare a variable in a properties file, and then reference it in a XML file using the ${myvar} syntax.
