XMLConfiguration addNodes() not behaving correctly (in 1.5)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Key: CONFIGURATION-328
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-328
Project: Commons Configuration
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.5
Environment: Linux, Apache Configuration 1.5
Reporter: vivek
Priority: Blocker
Things used to work fine in 1.3, but now when I'm trying 1.5 my JUnit test
suite is breaking when adding new properties. Here is what I'm doing,
1) I already have a configuration as following,
<test>
<property name="isOk">
<value>true</value>
<default>false</default>
</property>
<property name="intProperty">
<value>900</value>
<default>500</default>
</property>
<property extra="0" name="stringProperty">
<value>Hi</value>
<default>Bye</default>
</property>
</test>
2) Now I need to add two new properties under <test>,
<property name="newFirst">
<value>first</value>
</property>
<property name="newSecond">
<value>second</value>
</property>
3) Here is the code I'm using,
a) First create a new HierarchicalConfiguration.Node
private HierarchicalConfiguration.Node createNode(String name,
Object value) {
HierarchicalConfiguration.Node node = new
HierarchicalConfiguration.Node(name);
node.setValue(value);
return node;
}
b) Add the node to the list
List<HierarchicalConfiguration.Node> attrNodes = new
ArrayList<HierarchicalConfiguration.Node>();
Node attrNode = createNode(attrName, newPropertyName);
attrNode.setAttribute(true);
attrNodes.add(attrNode);
c) Call addNodes on XMLConfiguration,
conf.addNodes(attrPath, attrNodes);
I run this in a look for each new property I need to add. For first property, I
get element count for the test.property as 3 (conf.getMaxIndex(key)) - so I
insert at test.property(3), which is right, but for the second property I get
element count as 5 --> This is wrong, it should have been 4 (because I just
added 1).
I check the saved the configuration file after adding those two new properties
and it looks wrong too. Here is what I get,
<test>
<property name="isOk">
<value>true</value>
<default>false</default>
</property>
<property name="intProperty">
<value>900</value>
<default>500</default>
</property>
<property extra="0" name="stringProperty">
<value>Hi</value>
<default>Bye</default>
</property>
<property>
<name>newFirst</name>
</property>
<property>
<value>first</value>
</property>
<property>
<name>newSecond</name>
</property>
<property>
<value>second</value>
</property>
</test>
The total element count for test.property gives me 7 ==> I was expecting 5.
There seems to have some code change in 1.5 releated to addNodes (for ex.,
CONFIGURATION-287). I'm not sure if I need to change the way I was calling
addNodes before. It works fine with 1.3, but 1.5 completely fails on adding new
properties.
I do need 1.5 for other bug fixes ( CONFIGURATION-268 and some other), but I
can't use it until the addNodes behave correctly.
Marking this as blocker as I'm blocked because of this issue. If there is a
workaround then please let me know.
