Oliver Heger commented on CONFIGURATION-386:
--------------------------------------------
To be honest: no idea!
Is it possible to provide a simple example (a XML document and a short code
fragment) where the error occurs?
Could it somehow depend on the content of the file? If you remove the part of
the XML document that is stripped by the save() operation, does
{{setProperty()}} then work correctly? It may be an issue with the encoding,
perhaps due to incorrect encoding parts of the content are interpreted as list
delimiters or file end markers? Just speculating. Did you try to set an
encoding explicitly using the {{setEncoding()}} method?

> Key: CONFIGURATION-386
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-386
> Project: Commons Configuration
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.6
> Environment: Windows XP, latest Eclipse, Configuration 1.6
> Reporter: Daniel Hurwitz
> Original Estimate: 24h
> Remaining Estimate: 24h
>
> When using XMLConfiguration to input an XML file, after performing
> setProperty(), then save() to a new output file, some nodes near the end of
> the file are removed and I notice some nodes are split, as demonstrated below:
> original XML:
> <A>
> <B> w1 w2 w3 w4 w5</B>
> <C> v1 v2 v3 </C>
> </A>
> after doing setProperty("A.C","changes"), then save():
> file contains:
> <A>
> <B> w1 w2 </B>
> <B> w3 w4 </B>
> <B> w5 </B>
> </A>
> Note: If I input the XML and immediately save() it without using
> setProperty() to make a change, the new output file looks identical to the
> original. There are about 500 <A> constellations. In the latter 15 or so, the
> C nodes are removed in the new output XML. Also, It doesn't make sense to me
> why it would split the <B> into a few. Could the encoding of the XML affect
> the setProperty() method? I ask because the <C> nodes contain Hebrew letters.
> Yet that's interesting that it works, except for removing the latter 15 or 20
> <C> nodes.
> Any thoughts on how to resolve this? Thanks in advance!
