I think the only dissention that I would have is the conf.getSection... I
think that one of the key points of Configuration is that the implementors
all work via the Configuration interface.. A user of IniFileConfiguration
is going to expect to do something like getString("Section 1.key_a") or
something along that means..
It seems like how you would do it is
IniFileConfiguration conf = new IniFileConfiguration(filePath);
Configuration section1 = conf.subset("Section 1");
String key_a = section1.getString("key_a");
conf.setProperty("Section 1.key_b","key_b_value");
String key_b = conf.getSTring("Section 1.key_b");
I think that you have to implement this to support working with
CompositeConfiguration, SubsetConfiguration.
Now, if beyond the Configuration interface you had a couple helper methods
specific to IniFileConfiguration, then that would be okay I think... But,
I think it really has to implement Configuration.
