XMLPropertyListConfiguration doesn't handle empty <dict/> correctly
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CONFIGURATION-362
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-362
Project: Commons Configuration
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.6
Environment: Mac OS X 10.5.6 JDK 1.5
Reporter: Kent McPhee
Empty "dict" elements are not handled properly. During printing of a
configuration, configuration nodes that have no children and no value are
assumed to be "strings" (see XMLPropertyListConfiguration.java:printValue()'s
last "else" clause). <dict/> is parsed in such a way (see startElement() and
endElement() of that same file) that it ends up creating a configuration node
with no children and no value. Thus printing out a parsed property list will
print <string>null</string> everywhere an empty dictionary was in the input.
