> Key: CONFIGURATION-472
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-472
> Project: Commons Configuration
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.7
> Reporter: Raimund Klein
> Priority: Minor
>
> Problem description: XMLConfiguration's configuration(s)At return regular
> SubnodeConfigurations which can't "really" be used for adding nodes as these
> won't be converted into XMLConfiguration's internal XMLNodes. More precisely,
> when using the SubnodeConfiguration for adding, accesses to the main
> XMLConfiguration can run into ClassCastExceptions later on.
> Workaround: Add the created nodes directly to the main XMLConfiguration (e.g.
> with the appropriate XPath), as this configuration's add methods convert
> these into the internal form.
> Proposed Solution: Let XMLConfiguration's configuration(s)At methods return a
> subclass of SubnodeConfiguration whose add methods will perform the same node
> conversion. Consequently, this new class' SubnodeConfigurations returned by
> configuration(s)At should be instances of the very same class.
