The best would be to put your implementation on the wiki :
http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-commons/Configuration
We may implement this feature later but most likely under a different
form, something more generic that would work with all configurations.
Also worth mentioning, the byte[] properties in an
XMLPropertyListConfiguration are saved in base64, you might use this
format instead of a PropertiesConfiguration and convert your passwords
into byte arrays.

I was planning to extend PropertiesConfiguration by adding setPropertySecure()
and getPropertySecure() with an option of specifying the Base64 encoder.
Could I contribute this back to commons?
Thanks

A solution would be to extend an existing configuration and override
getProperty and addPropertyDirect to decode/encode the value on the fly
if the key contains 'password'.

Thanks. Just to confirm: there is no facility by which I could specify
my Base64 encoder as a closure (a transformer) to Configuration, so
it my plugins are executed in sequence before setValue() as follows?
{invoke plugin 1} => {invoke plugin 2} ... => Finally Invoke setValue()
Thanks,

Is there a way to have Commons PropertyConfiguration encrypt the specified

persisting passwords (although you could argue that passwords should not be
persisted in peroperty files).
Do I need to extend commons configuration?

Configuration does not provide a means for encrypting properties. I fear
you have to do the encryption yourself and store the encrypted password
(e.g. as a Base64-encoded string) as a property.
