           Summary: Tools for code generation of configuration properties
           Product: Commons
           Version: 1.1 Final
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Configuration

I would like to just suggest a kind of code generation from a defined 
properties/xml file, so the user can avoid the use of string representing the 
properties on whole source code. For example if I have the following property:

ftpServer.login = anonymous

in order to get the value of such property, instead of:
getProperty("ftpServer.login");

to have an equivalente class representation, like this:
getFtpServer().getLogin();

or just:
ftpServer().getLogin();

with this solution, you avoid miss-spelling of the property name (for example: 
instead of "ftpServer.loging", "ftpserver.login"), because you will get a 
compiler error.

in order to get this target we need a kind of code generation of the 
corresponding classes. Like any other generation tools it should be a mapping 
file for configuring the way the properties/subproperties/nodes could be 
mapped, for example tomorrows I would like to map: ftpServer.login to getServe
().getLogin(). With the default configuration the mapping will be the same.

It could be just and ant-taks for doing this, probably with velocity would be 
easy to implement.

Thanks in advance,

David Leal
