http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27747 [configuration] ClassCastException not thrown by getBoolean() [EMAIL PROTECTED] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Target Milestone|--- |1.0 Final ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-06-13 13:23 ------- I've been pondering this issue this week and I came to the conclusion that neither a ClassCastException nor an IllegalArgumentException are appropriate. One of the added value of [configuration] comparing to java.util.Properties or a Map is its ability to convert transparently, as far as reasonably possible, the stored properties into the type requested by the user. If this conversion is not possible, we need an unified exception to inform the user, and not several exceptions (ClassCastException, NumberFormatException, etc). I suggest adding a ConversionException, extending a ConfigurationRuntimeException (or RuntimeConfigurationException ?) and wrapping the cause that made the conversion to fail. If no one objects I'm going to implement this change next week. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
