Are ini files containing only a global section allowed to be used with commons
configuration, especially the HierachicalINIConfiguration class?
I found no advice in the javadocs that ini files should contain more than just
a global section but it seems HierachicalINIConfiguration can read those files
just fine but is not able to save them.
This is due to HierachicalINIConfiguration#getSections() can't really deal with
those files.
The current code:
Set sections = new ListOrderedSet();
boolean globalSection = false;
for (Iterator it = getRootNode().getChildren().iterator();
it.hasNext();)
{
ConfigurationNode node = (ConfigurationNode) it.next();
if (isSectionNode(node))
{
if (globalSection)
{
sections.add(null);
globalSection = false;
}
sections.add(node.getName());
}
else
{
globalSection = true;
}
}
return sections;
This code only acknowledges a global section when at least one other named
section is present.
HierachicalINIConfiguration#save() call this functions and only saves sections
returned by getSections() so if there is only a global section and no other
sections nothing gets saved.
Is this on purpose or could getSections() be changed to something like this?:
Set sections = new ListOrderedSet();
for (Iterator it = getRootNode().getChildren().iterator();
it.hasNext();)
{
ConfigurationNode node = (ConfigurationNode) it.next();
if (isSectionNode(node))
{
sections.add(node.getName());
}
else
{
sections.add(null);
}
}
return sections;
