An xml tag ('Name') must begin with a letter:
NameChar ::= Letter | Digit | '.' | '-' | '_' | ':' | CombiningChar |
Extender
Name ::= (Letter | '_' | ':') (NameChar)*
I have read in some book a normalized form of such properties in xml:
xxx.yyy.1=zzz1
xxx.yyy.2=zzz2
becomes
<xxx>
<yyy>zzz1</yyy>
<yyy>zzz2</yyy>
</xxx>
Or for my purpose, i imagine
xxx.yyy.1.ttt = zzz1
xxx.yyy.1.uuu = zzz2
xxx.yyy.2.ttt = zzz3
xxx.yyy.2.uuu = zzz4
becomes
<xxx>
<yyy>
<ttt>zzz1</ttt>
<uuu>zzz2</uuu>
</yyy>
<yyy>
<ttt>zzz3</ttt>
<uuu>zzz4</uuu>
</yyy>
</xxx>
For the subset problems, i've no time now to write a full junit test,
but here is a hint:
config.setProperty("a.b.c", "x");
config.setProperty("a.bc.d", "y");
config.subset("a.b");
The subset should contains only the "a.b.c" property (renamed to "c"), but
it seems to contains
also the "a.bc.d" property, which is renamed to ".d".

Guillaume

Hi..
Could you file a bug for this? A failing unit test would be even better.
As far as the XML, are you saying that in xml, this is a valid tag: <myTag>
but this is not: <1myTag> or <1>?
Odd, but if that is true, we should document that short coming. In terms of
fixing it, I don't think their is anything to do...
As far as your subset problem, could you submit a test case? Not quite sure
I understand what the problem is...
