*[1] Getting Properties out of Configuration*
When using already written software components, some methods take
Properties as input parameter. If using CompositeConfiguration as a
central point for accesing properties, it would be desirable to get
Properties out of PropertiesConfiguration which is part of
CompositeConfiguration. Example of wanted functionality:
Configuration propertiesConfiguration = config.getConfiguration(2);
Properties properties = propertiesConfiguration.getProperties();
Asume 3rd entry in configuration.xml is <properties>.
It is here and it is not tied to a spcific Configuration implementation:
ConfigurationConverter.getProperties(Configuration)
That is good news - thanks!
Hint for docu:
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/configuration/overview.html
Should mension, that it does convert vice versa :)
This feature is easily missed as it is under "Configuration Sources"
section. IMHO it should stand out on its own. More careful API
inspection on my side should discover ConfigurationConverter class though.

*[3] Getting configurations out of configuration.xml could be done by
name and not by index.* So, instead of
config.getConfiguration(2)
one could write
config.getConfiguration("entryThree");
A new attribute for each entry should be introduced, something like:
<configuration>
<xml id="entryOne" fileName="prop1.xml"/>
<xml id="entryTwo" fileName="prop2.xml"/>
<properties id="entryThree" fileName="prop3.properties"/>
<database id="entryFour"
connect="jdbc:mysql://delovc10.noviforum.si/feeds?user=foo&pas
sword=bar"/>
</configuration>
Since you make seem to access the distinct configuration files anyway, use
subsets instead:
<configuration>
<additional>
<xml fileName="prop1.xml" at="prop1" at="entryOne" />
<!-- ... -->
</additional>
</configuration>
config.subset("entryOne");
Where is <additional> tag documented? Is there a DTD or XML Schema?
There are two attributes with the same name (at).
Thanks for your quick reply Jörg!
