Ralph Goers commented on CONFIGURATION-401:
-------------------------------------------
If you provide a patch we would definitely consider it.
That said, what should hierarchicalConfiguration.subset("persons(0)") or
hierarchicalConfiguration.subset("persons(1)") return? It sounds like you
somehow want the converter to understand that there are multiple person
elements (and be able to group them) but not multiple people elements.
> HierarchicalConfiguration does not support hierarchy from property files

> Key: CONFIGURATION-401
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-401
> Project: Commons Configuration
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Expression engine
> Affects Versions: 1.6
> Environment: windows/Linux
> Reporter: yair ogen
>
> If you have hierarchy like this:
> persons.person.name=1
> persons.person.surName=2
> persons.person.phoneNum=3
> persons.person.name=4
> persons.person.surName=5
> persons.person.phoneNum=6
> persons.person.name=7
> persons.person.surName=8
> persons.person.phoneNum=9
> If I have a regular property configuration that loaded a file containing in
> the above. then I transform into HierarchicalConfiguration using:
> ConfigurationUtils.convertToHierarchical(configuration).
> The tree is not right.
> I can do this:
> hierarchicalConfiguration.subset("persons").subset("person(0)").getKeys()
> but this returned empty iterator:
> hierarchicalConfiguration.subset("persons").subset("person(1)").getKeys()
> Only the first person is available.
