> 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.
