Hi everyone,
I've been playing around with configuration 1.7 for a while now, specifically
XMLConfiguration (since I'm a fan of hierarchical files) and the
XPathExpressionEngine. Cool stuff. :-)
However, I've run into two issues:
- Since my file is nested a couple of levels, I like to create configuration
nodes with children myself and then add whole subtrees at the appropriate
points. For the self-created nodes, I rely on
org.apache.commons.configuration.tree.DefaultConfigurationNode. I also like the
SubnodeConfiguration class while working on the subtree. However, I've found
that when really adding new nodes to the configuration, I can't simply add them
to a matching SubnodeConfiguration, as they won't be converted into XML Nodes,
which causes possible ClassCastExceptions later on. Instead, I have to add them
to the XMLConfiguration directly. This is due to the fact that XMLConfiguration
overrides addNodes(String, Collection) and converts the nodes in the Collection
into its own XML nodes; however, SubnodeConfiguration of course doesn't do
this. I've been wondering whether this is intentional or maybe I'm completely
missing the idea of the class SubnodeConfiguration itself. Maybe
XMLConfiguration
's configuration(s)At methods should return a subclass of SubnodeConfiguration
which will perform the same node conversion?
This is not by intension, it is rather a missing feature (well, maybe
even a bug). Could you please open a ticket in our bug tracking system
[1] for this? It's a good idea to let XMLConfiguration return a specific
SubnodeConfiguraition with an overridden createNode() method.
- Is there a way to assign a formatter to changed XMLConfigurations when
saving? I've found inspecting and maybe even changing the stored configuration
files by hand a bit cumbersome, as there is apparently no such thing as
auto-indent. As I'm expecting my files to grow over time, this would come in
quite handy.
Unfortunately, there is no support for formatting yet. This would
certainly be a nice new feature. However, I am not sure what would be a
suitable interface for such a formatter?
Thanks

Other than that, I'm quite happy with what I've found so far. :-)
