Martin den Heijer created CONFIGURATION-781: -----------------------------------------------
Summary: The conversion handler is not inherited by children Key: CONFIGURATION-781 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-781 Project: Commons Configuration Issue Type: Bug Components: Type conversion Affects Versions: 2.6, 2.1 Environment: Package: commons-configuration2-2.6.jar (from maven central), apache-commons-configuration2-2.1-6.fc30.noarch (from Fedora repo). JVM and Java compiler: java-11-openjdk-11.0.6.10-0.fc31.x86_64 (from Fedora repo). OS: Fedora 31 Reporter: Martin den Heijer Attachments: Main.java If a setting is requested from a configuration with a custom converter, the custom converter will be invoked for all conversions as expected, even if the key points to an element in a INI section/XML child element, etcetera. If the INI section or XML child element is requested using the ImmutableHierarchicalConfiguration.immutableConfigurationAt() or a similar method and the property is requested from the child configuration, then the DefaultConversionHandler is used to perform the conversion. The attached source demonstrates this behaviour: the last get() causes a ConversionException instead of returning the requested Duration. I noticed that the conversion handler is not copied in BaseHierarchicalConfiguration.initSubConfiguration(). It should probably be added there, but I do not know if there are more locations were the conversion handler should be copied as well. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
