Hi, With Commons Configuration 1.6, I was able to declare a variable in a
properties file, and then reference it in a XML file using the ${myvar} syntax.
For example: global.properties-----myvar=abc test.xml-----<products>
<product name="abc">
<desc>${myvar}-product</desc>
</link></product> config.xml-----<properties
fileName="global.properties"/><xml fileName="test.xml" config-name="test"
validating="true">
<expressionEngine
config-class="org.apache.commons.configuration.tree.xpath.XPathExpressionEngine"/>
<reloadingStrategy refreshDelay="5000"
config-class="org.apache.commons.configuration.reloading.FileChangedReloadingStrategy"/>
</xml>
When I try to retrieve the value, like so:
combinedConfig.getConfiguration("test").configurationAt("products/product[@name='abc']",
true).getString("desc") I get "${myvar}-product" instead of "abc-product".
This was working in Commons Configuration 1.6, but seems to be broken in 1.7
and 1.8. Did something change, or is there a different way to do this? Or is
this a bug?
