Re: Configuration: init problem

[Oliver Heger]

Javier,

I think you have spotted a bug in [configuration]. Your code should work. If 
the file name you provide is invalid, a ConfigurationException rather than a 
NullPointerException should be thrown.

I opened a bugzilla ticket for this bug (no 32236) and will now work on a fix.

Hello

I�ve problems with my first configuration use.

I want to try to load a config file, if it fails,
create a new one.

My code is:

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

try {
           pc = new PropertiesConfiguration("a.ini");

} catch (ConfigurationException ce) {
try {
pc = new PropertiesConfiguration();
pc.addProperty("dbClassName",
"SQLite.JDBCDriver");
pc.addProperty("dbURL",
"jdbc:sqlite://sogox.db");
pc.addProperty("phonesFilePath",
"c:\\\\");
pc.save("a.ini");
} catch (ConfigurationException ce1) {
System.err.println(ce.getMessage());
}
}

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

but, I received a error message:

Exception in thread "main"
java.lang.NullPointerException
       at
org.apache.commons.configuration.ConfigurationUtils.getBasePath(Confi
gurationUtils.java:337)

I guess it�s due to the fact that the file doesn�t
exist and then new PropertiesConfiguration gives a
null value.

Well, my doubt is how should I do this ? which is the
"best practice" ? should I use xml instead of
properties ?

Thanks in advance

Javier
