Oliver Heger resolved CONFIGURATION-500.
----------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
I agree that your proposal of handling attributes for list elements is more
intuitive. {{XMLConfiguration}} will now behave in this way.
Fixed in subversion in revision 1382310.
> Attributes in xml config should apply to all entries of a list

> Key: CONFIGURATION-500
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-500
> Project: Commons Configuration
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Expression engine
> Affects Versions: 1.8
> Environment: Linux, Windows
> Reporter: Alex Selg
> Assignee: Oliver Heger
> Fix For: 2.0
>
>
> If you have an XML configuration with lists and attributes like this:
> {code:xml}
> <configuration>
> <someStrings environment="test">str1,str2,str3</someStrings>
> <someStrings environment="prod">str4,str5,str6</someStrings>
> </configuration>
> {code}
> and if you have a different implementation of the DefaultExpressionEngine
> which implements the query() methode to check these attributes
> {code}
> List<ConfigurationNode> queryResults = super.query(root, key);
> for (ConfigurationNode queryResult : queryResults) {
> attributes = queryResult.getAttributes();
> ...
> }
> {code}
> than you'll only get the attributes for the first node of the list - the
> subsequent nodes don't have any attributes set.
> So for "str1" I'll get the attribute environment="test", for "str2"
> and "str3" I'll get no attributes.
> Oliver H. pointed out that this is the intended behaviour
> (http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/commons-user/201205.mbox/browser).
> I think it would be more straightforward assigning attributes to all nodes of
> a list. Otherwise the list feature seems incomlete to me.
> Especially if your lists are a bit longish it would be very nice to avoid
> repeating tags in your config.xml.
