Configuration.getInt() should define its accepted inputs, and should also
accept octal
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CONFIGURATION-422
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-422
Project: Commons Configuration
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Type conversion
Reporter: david cogen
Priority: Minor
I can find no information about the format of the string that
Configuration.getInt(String) accepts. I have determined by experimentation and
examining the source that it accepts decimal integers, and hex integers if
preceeded by "0x". This should be explained.
Also, it is customary for functions which accept decimal and hex to also accept
octal. A string with leading "0" should be parsed as octal.
This should apply to getByte(), getShort(), and getLong() as well.
