You're right when it comes to new configuration files / new applications. But
then, I wouldn't use ini-files. I think of existing applications and existing
ini-files with this schema.
Another approach could be to write a facade for this - something like:
public Object getProperty(String key)
{
Object o = super.getProperty(key);
if (o == null)
{
int pos = key.indexOf(".");
if (pos == -1)
{
key = this.defaultSection + "." + key;
}
else
{
key = this.defaultSection + key.substring(0, pos);
}
o = super.getProperty(key);
}
return o;
}
...just an idea...
Best,
Oliver
