Emmanuel Bourg updated CONFIGURATION-26: ---------------------------------------- Priority: Minor (was: Major) Environment: (was: Operating System: All Platform: All) Summary: Consider returning a concatenation of the list properties with getString() (was: [configuration] Consider returning a concatenation of the list properties with getString()) > Consider returning a concatenation of the list properties with getString() > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CONFIGURATION-26 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-26 > Project: Commons Configuration > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Ittay Dror > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 2.0 > > > in AbstractConfiguration.resolveContainerStore (javadoc): > * Returns an object from the store described by the key. If the value is a > * List object, replace it with the first object in the list. > but what if getProperty returns a List because this is the type of the > property? > this code will silently grab the first elemen. I don't understand why. > Probably > the reason is that some class extending AbstractConfiguration returns List > for > properties. In this case I think the better approach is to have that class > return the first element instead, rather than returning the List and letting > AbstractConfiguration (which is used by many other implementations, including > outside of the configuration package) handle it -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
