Oliver Heger created CONFIGURATION-501:
------------------------------------------
Summary: XMLPropertyListConfiguration swallows exceptions about
invalid date properties
Key: CONFIGURATION-501
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-501
Project: Commons Configuration
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.8
Reporter: Oliver Heger
Assignee: Oliver Heger
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 1.9
{{XMLPropertyListConfiguration.PListNode}} in its {{setDateValue()}} method
just ignores parsing exceptions caused by invalid date property values. The
values are not added to the newly created configuration object.
It makes sense that parsing is robust and error-tolerant. However, rather than
simply swallowing exceptions, there should at least be a log output, so that
users have a chance to determine that something went wrong during loading of a
configuration.
Maybe we can later add a strict mode which fails on loading configuration files
with invalid properties.
