Oliver, I have finally found out what was causing me to pick up old classes - a vendor package I use, has an old version of Configuration package embedded in it! What a pain!!!
My code works great now but the vendor stuff doesn't because they are calling org.apache.commons.configuration.HierarchicalXMLConfiguration with the old initProperties method (without the boolean elemRefs parameter). Can you think of an easy way around this? Is there a way this class can be made backwards compatible?

They are correct. I have no more ideas what could cause you such a trouble. Perhaps you can try building 1.2 from source (see http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/configuration/building.html). I wonder if this will work.
