---------------------------------------------
No problem! I'm hoping to have the next version out soon.
> Handling of interpolation is inconsistent
> -----------------------------------------
>
> Key: CONFIGURATION-753
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-753
> Project: Commons Configuration
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Interpolation
> Affects Versions: 2.5
> Environment: Java 8, Configurations2 2.5
> Reporter: Peter
> Assignee: Matt Juntunen
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.8.0
>
> Attachments: test.properties
>
> Time Spent: 10m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h

> If a key is repeated in a configuration and then used in an interpolation
> elsewhere, the behaviour is inconsistent. There are other tickets/discussions
> about whether it should just pick the first value or not, but I don't think
> it should do both.
> {code:java|title=/tmp/test.properties}
> abc = hello
> abc = world
> foo.one = ${abc}
> foo.two = prefix ${abc} suffix
> {code}
> {code:java|title=Demo.java (main)}
> Parameters params = new Parameters();
> FileBasedConfigurationBuilder<FileBasedConfiguration> builder = new
> FileBasedConfigurationBuilder<FileBasedConfiguration>(PropertiesConfiguration.class)
> .configure(params.fileBased()
> .setFileName("/tmp/test.properties")
> );
> try {
> FileBasedConfiguration config = builder.getConfiguration();
> System.out.println(config.getString("foo.one"));
> System.out.println(config.getString("foo.two"));
> } catch (ConfigurationException cex) {
> // pass
> }
> {code}
> The output from the above is
> {noformat}
> hello
> prefix [hello, world] suffix
> {noformat}
> In the first case, only the first value is being matched, in the second both
> values (and [, ]) are used.
> I'd expect the output to either be
> {noformat:title=First value only}
> hello
> prefix hello suffix
> {noformat}
> or
> {noformat:title=Both values used}
> [hello, world]
> prefix [hello, world] suffix
> {noformat}
> I can work around whichever style is chosen but think it'd be much more
> intuitive if both cases were handled the same.
