                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-256
             Project: Commons Configuration
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.3
         Environment: I think it does not matter because of pure java
            Reporter: Michal Polak


Hello, I don't know how to reopen resolved bug. See: 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-30

There is BAD implementation in MapConfiguration.getProperty(String key) method:

As "return value" should be list.get(0) instead of "value".
PropertyConverter.split removes escape chars....

Suggested correction:

    public Object getProperty(String key)
    {
        Object value = map.get(key);
        if ((value instanceof String) && (!isDelimiterParsingDisabled()))
        {
            List list = PropertyConverter.split((String) value, 
getListDelimiter());
            //MP: return list.size() > 1 ? list : value;
            return list.size() > 1 ? list : list.get(0); //MP: split removes 
escape chars
        }
        else
        {
            return value;
        }
    }


Test code:

Map m = new HashMap();
m.put("foo", "bar\\,baz");
m.put("bar", "bar, baz");
MapConfiguration mc = new MapConfiguration(m);
mc.setDelimiterParsingDisabled(false);
mc.setListDelimiter(',');
Configuration c = mc;
String bad = c.getString("foo"); //<-- returns "bar\\, baz" expected "bar, baz"
String ok = c.getString("bar"); // <-- returns "bar"
System.err.println("Bad: " + bad);
System.err.println("OK: " + ok);

Current result is:

Bad: bar\,baz
OK: bar
