> Hi,

> is it permitted to call getConfiguration more than once on the same

>
> DefaultConfigurationBuilder builder = new DefaultConfigurationBuilder();
> builder.setFile(new File("config.xml"));
> Configuration config = builder.getConfiguration(true);
> config = builder.getConfiguration(true);
> config = builder.getConfiguration(true);
> ...
>
> The config.xml looks like this:
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
>
> <configuration>
> <properties fileName="test.properties" config-at="a"/>
> <properties fileName="test.properties" config-at="b"/>
> <properties fileName="test.properties" config-at="c"/>
> <properties fileName="test.properties" config-at="d"/>
> <properties fileName="test.properties" config-at="e"/>
> <properties fileName="test.properties" config-at="f"/>
> <properties fileName="test.properties" config-at="g"/>
> <properties fileName="test.properties" config-at="h"/>
> <properties fileName="test.properties" config-at="i"/>
> <properties fileName="test.properties" config-at="j"/>
> </configuration>
>
> and the referenced file "test.properties" contains:
> a=a
> b=b
> c=c

MG>builder.getConfiguration(true) a Union between one DB Table and another DB
Table
MG>if you want to 'merge' 2 groups together I suggest using OverrideCombiner
