           Summary: ConfigurationFactory auto save overwrites properties
                    file.
           Product: Commons
           Version: 1.1.0
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Configuration
        AssignedTo: commons-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Setting a PropertiesConfiguration autoSave=true via a ConfigurationFactory can
cause the underlying properties file to be completely overwritten.

Example:

config.xml:
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
  <configuration>
    <properties fileName="application.properties" />
    <properties fileName="ui.properties"  autoSave="true"/>
  </configuration>

application.properties:
  application.name=Test App
  application.version = 0.01
  application.title = ${application.name} V${application.version}

ui.properties:
  ui.test="stuff here"

Execute the code:
  ConfigurationFactory factory = new ConfigurationFactory();
  URL configURL = getClass().getResource("/config.xml");
  factory.setConfigurationURL(configURL);
  try {
    config = factory.getConfiguration();
    System.out.println(config.getString("application.title"));

    System.out.println(config.getString("ui.test"));
    config.setProperty("ui.test", "will this get saved ?");
    System.out.println(config.getString("ui.test"));
  } catch (ConfigurationException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
  }

Program output:
12/04/2005 10:24:00
org.apache.commons.configuration.ConfigurationFactory$FileConfigurationFactory
createObject
INFO: Trying to load configuration application.properties
12/04/2005 10:24:00
org.apache.commons.configuration.ConfigurationFactory$FileConfigurationFactory
createObject
INFO: Trying to load configuration ui.properties
Test App V0.01
"stuff here"
will this get saved ?

After execution
---------------
application.properties:
  application.name=Test App
  application.version = 0.01
  application.title = ${application.name} V${application.version}

ui.properties:
  # written by PropertiesConfiguration
  # Tue Apr 12 10:24:00 EST 2005

NOTE ui.test doesn't appear with either the old value or the modified one.
