I have a need to read properties from a file of the form:
key this sentence is
the value of the key.
that is, the multi-line string value of the key is signaled by leading
white space on the second and subsequent lines, rather than the use of
"\" on each previous line. Is there a neat way to coerce
common-configuration into parsing this as I want it? Could I override
PropertiesConfiguration.PropertiesReader for example to get this effect?
Thanks for any suggestions .. Gavin
After having a look at the code I don't see an easy way to achieve this.
Overriding PropertiesReader would probably not help you because
1) there is no easy way to tell PropertiesConfiguration (or its layout
object) to use your derived class and
2) there is no simple hook in PropertiesReader for inserting your custom
line end parsing.
What you of course can do is implementing your own reader that extracts
the properties and adds them to a newly created PropertiesConfiguration
object.
