------------------------------------------
Summary: OverrideCombiner does not work properly when key contains
list
Key: CONFIGURATION-782
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-782
Project: Commons Configuration
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Format
Reporter: Gisle Grimen
It seems that the OverrideCombiner does not work properly in some cases when
key contains a list. The problem is best illustrated with an example:
In your Base Config File you following key values:
idp.auth.methods = NO-BANKID, NO-BANKID-MOBILE
And in our Specialty configuration, the one that overrides duplicates in the
base config file contains following key:
idp.auth.methods.1443 = SE-BANKID, SE-BANKID-MOBILE
The expected result after combining these two configuration files would be:
idp.auth.methods = NO-BANKID, NO-BANKID-MOBILE
idp.auth.methods.1443 = SE-BANKID, SE-BANKID-MOBILE
However the actual result of current implementation is as follows:
idp.auth.methods.1443 = SE-BANKID, SE-BANKID-MOBILE
So even though that the config file that overrides the base configuration file
does not have any overriding configuration for idp.auth.methods. The config in
the base config connected to key idp.autyh.methods are not added to the
combined configuration.
If this is not a bug but a feature, then i would like to know which combiner i
should use as it is not obvious from the documentation. The objective is to be
able to have one file that contains extra configuration which also can include
configuration keys that should override configuration keys from the base
configuration file.
