http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35963 Summary: XMLConfiguration inconsistency towards empty values. Product: Commons Version: 1.1 Final Platform: All OS/Version: other Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Configuration AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Empty values are not read correctly from XML files : when a XML file contains an empty element, the corresponding keys are not present in the configuration, but an empty string can be saved! Consider the following code : XMLConfiguration config = new XMLConfiguration(); config.setProperty("foo.bar", ""); config.save("config.xml"); System.out.println("Config saved!"); System.out.println("foo.bar in config1 = "+config.getProperty("foo.bar")); XMLConfiguration config2 = new XMLConfiguration("config.xml"); System.out.println("foo.bar in config2= "+config2.getProperty("foo.bar")); The output is : foo.bar in config1 = '' foo.bar in config2 = 'null' the file config.xml contains : <configuration> <foo> <bar/> </foo> </configuration> this also does not allow to distinguish between an empty value and a missing key. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
