In the meantime, I could track down what happend:
I set AbstractConfiguration.setDelimiter('0') as mentioned
in the Java Doc, not realizing that this would set the
delimiter to char 0 (zero).
Check the documentation at
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/configuration/apidocs/index.html.
== Snippet from java doc:
value can contain value delimiters and will then be interpreted as a
list of tokens. Default value delimiter is the comma ','. So the
following property definition
key = This property, has multiple, values
will result in a property with three values. You can change the value
delimiter using the AbstractConfiguration.setListDelimiter(char) method.
Setting the delimiter to 0 will disable value splitting completely.
== Snippet end.
I had to do that because I migrated from java.util.Properties
and had already a mechanism in place that filled lists into
ArrayLists.
When I set the delimiting character to ^H, I had what I wanted.
I'm currently using Commons Configuraion 1.2.

Strange! Could you please provide a complete test program (better yet a
unit test), so that we can reproduce the problem? Which version of
Commons Configuration do you use?
Thanks.
