             Summary: AbstractConfiguration does not clone correctly after 
interpolation
                 Key: CONFIGURATION-524
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-524
             Project: Commons Configuration
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Build
            Reporter: Juan Diego Gago Perez


If you clone a Configuration, does not clone the StrSubstitutor when it has 
been instanced, so the cloned copy has the same StrSubstituor than the original 
composite. If you change a property in the original compoiste it is changed in 
the cloned copy.

Way to reproduce it :

public class SampleConfiguration {
    public static void main(final String[] args) {
        final String sentence = "SELECT * FORM TABLE WHERE YEAR=${year} and 
QUARTER=${quarter}";
        final CompositeConfiguration cp = new CompositeConfiguration();
        cp.addProperty("year", "2000");
        cp.addProperty("quarter", "2");

        final AbstractConfiguration clonedConfig = (AbstractConfiguration) 
ConfigurationUtils.cloneConfiguration(cp);

        cp.setProperty("year", "2001");
        clonedConfig.setProperty("year", "2002");

        System.out.println("Original sentence " + 
PropertyConverter.interpolate(sentence, cp));
        System.out.println("Cloned sentence " + 
PropertyConverter.interpolate(sentence, clonedConfig));

        final AbstractConfiguration clonedConfig2 = (AbstractConfiguration) 
ConfigurationUtils.cloneConfiguration(cp);

        cp.setProperty("year", "2003");
        clonedConfig2.setProperty("year", "2004");

        System.out.println("Original sentence " + 
PropertyConverter.interpolate(sentence, cp));
        System.out.println("Cloned (after interpolate with same strSubstitutor 
)sentence "
                + PropertyConverter.interpolate(sentence, clonedConfig2));
    }
}  


The solution can be to make in the following ways:
Make the clone of the strSubstitutor in the AbstractConfigutration class.
Create a clone method inside the StrSubtitutor  and invoke it from the 
AbstractConfiguration class.
Set null the strSubstituror when the clone method is invoked in the Abstract 
Configuration class. The next invocation to interpolate methos instances the 
strSubstitutor.
