Similar to CONFIGURATION-557, the getList(String, List) method

description="Another set of smaller bug fixes">
<action dev="oheger" type="update">
Some dependencies to other Commons components have been updated to the
recent versions. Affected are Commons Lang, Commons Collections,
Commons Logging, Commons BeanUtils, and Commons JXPath. The older
versions should still work.

</action>
<action dev="oheger" type="add" issue="CONFIGURATION-349" due-to="Ralph Goers">
The visibility of DefaultConfigurationBuilder.XMLConfigurationProvider
was changed from package local to public. This makes it easier to
implement providers that create configuration classes derived from
XMLConfiguration.
</action>
<action dev="oheger" type="fix" issue="CONFIGURATION-348">
AbstractHierarchicalFileConfiguration.getKeys() now also checks whether
a reload is required.
</action>
<action dev="oheger" type="fix" issue="CONFIGURATION-347">
AbstractFileConfiguration.getKeys() now returns an iterator that points
to a snapshot of the keys of the configuration. This prevents
ConcurrentModificationExceptions during iteration when a reload is
performed.
</action>
<action dev="oheger" type="fix" issue="CONFIGURATION-346">
ConfigurationUtils.convertToHierarchical() now creates multiple
configuration nodes for properties with multiple values. This
improves compatibility with queries.
</action>
<action dev="oheger" type="fix" issue="CONFIGURATION-345">
PropertiesConfiguration now per default uses the encoding "ISO-8859-1"
for loading properties files.
</action>
<action dev="oheger" type="fix" issue="CONFIGURATION-344">
CombinedConfiguration could cause a deadlock when it was accessed while
concurrently a reload of one of its child configuration happened. This
was fixed by reducing synchronization where it is not strictly
necessary.
</action>
<action dev="oheger" type="fix" issue="CONFIGURATION-341">
The "force reload check" mechanism of CombinedConfiguration now also
works with sub configurations created by configurationAt().
</action>
<action dev="oheger" type="fix" issue="CONFIGURATION-339">
When performing interpolation the methods getList() and getStringArray()
of CompositeConfiguration did not take the order of child configurations
into account. This could lead to wrong interpolated values when the key
was contained in multiple child configuration. Interpolation is now
always done in the correct order.
</action>
<action dev="oheger" type="add" issue="CONFIGURATION-338" due-to="David Donn">
PropertiesConfiguration now also performs interpolation when searching
for include files. This means that the name of a file to include can be
determined by another property.

DefaultConfigurationBuilder now supports defining new configuration
providers in the configuration definition file.
</action>
<action dev="oheger" type="add" issue="CONFIGURATION-336">
When converting a flat configuration to a hierarchical one it is now
possible to specify the expression engine to be used for this purpose.
This may be necessary if the flat configuration contains keys with
special characters interpreted by the expression engine.
CombinedConfiguration defines the new setConversionExpressionEngine()
method. The expression engine passed to this method will be used when
converting flat child configurations to hierarchical ones.
</action>
<action dev="oheger" type="add" issue="CONFIGURATION-335">
XMLConfiguration now allows disabling the attribute splitting mechanism
introduced in the 1.5 release (as part of the fix for CONFIGURATION-268).
This may be necessary for correctly processing attributes containing
both the list delimiter and the attribute delimiter character. The new
property &quot;disableAttributeSplitting&quot; was added for this
purpose.
</action>
<action dev="oheger" type="fix" issue="CONFIGURATION-334">
Made handling of parent nodes more consistent when setRoot() or
setRootNode() of HierarchicalConfiguration are involved.

Properties written through a DataConfiguration to a wrapped
PropertiesConfiguration got lost when the PropertiesConfiguration was
saved. This has been fixed.
</action>
<action dev="oheger" type="add" issue="CONFIGURATION-331">
XMLBeanDeclaration now defines a factory method createBeanDeclaration()
for creating the declarations for complex nested properties. This
method can be overridden by derived classes for injecting custom
BeanDeclaration implementations.
</action>
<action dev="oheger" type="fix" issue="CONFIGURATION-328">
A bug in XMLConfiguration.addNodes() made it impossible to add
attribute nodes using this method. This has been fixed.
</action>
<action dev="oheger" type="fix" issue="CONFIGURATION-327">
INIConfiguration misinterpreted variables in the global section with
a dot in their name as section names. HierarchicalINIConfiguration fixes
this problem.
</action>
<action dev="oheger" type="add" issue="CONFIGURATION-326">
INIConfiguration does not support obtaining a subset for the global

</action>
<action dev="oheger" type="update">
INIConfiguration has been deprecated. Its functionality is now available
through the new HierarchicalINIConfiguration class.
</action>
<action dev="oheger" type="add">
With HierarchicalINIConfiguration a complete new Configuration
implementation for parsing Windows INI files is available. This new
class is a full replacement of INIConfiguration and addresses some of its
shortcomings. Being derived from HierarchicalConfiguration it offers
the enhanced functionality of hierarchical configurations.

Changing the text of the root element of an XMLConfiguration had no
effect when the configuration was saved. This has been fixed.

CombinedConfiguration used to send two EVENT_COMBINED_INVALIDATE events
for each modified child configuration. Now this event is sent only
once after the affected child configuration was updated.

<action dev="oheger" type="fix" issue="CONFIGURATION-307">
XMLConfiguration now supports the xml:space attribute. This attribute
can be used to preserve whitespace in the content of XML elements.

A bug in XMLConfiguration caused that attributes of the root element
could not be changed. This has been fixed.
</action>
<action dev="oheger" type="add" issue="CONFIGURATION-290">
A new method registerEntityId() was added to XMLConfiguration, which
allows to register URLs for entities. A new default implementation of
the EntityResolver interface handles these entities automatically.

<action dev="oheger" type="fix" issue="CONFIGURATION-295">
The subset() method of HierarchicalConfiguration now takes the value of
the subset's root node into account if it is not ambigous.

Nodes added to a XMLConfiguration using the addNodes() method could
lose their value when the configuration was saved. This is now fixed.
</action>
<action dev="oheger" type="fix" issue="CONFIGURATION-272">
New copy() and append() methods have been added to AbstractConfiguration.
They replace the methods with the same names in ConfigurationUtils,
which do not handle all features of AbstractConfiguration properly (e.g.
list delimiters in property values are incorrectly treated). To avoid
such problems, the new methods should be used.
</action>

The addNodes() method of hierarchical file-based configurations now
correctly triggers an auto save.
</action>
<action dev="oheger" type="fix" issue="CONFIGURATION-287">
HierarchicalConfiguration.addNodes() now resets the reference property
of all nodes to be added. This fixes a problem with XMLConfiguration,

DefaultConfigurationBuilder will now notify registered error listeners
about optional configuration sources that could not be created. Before
exceptions thrown by optional configurations were swallowed

<action dev="oheger" type="add" issue="CONFIGURATION-264">
A SubnodeConfiguration per default does not see certain changes of its
parent configuration (e.g. reloads). With a new boolean parameter of
HierarchicalConfiguration's configurationAt() method a mode can be
enabled, in which the subnode configuration checks for such changes and
reconstructs itself if necessary.

Class loading in BeanHelper is now done using ClassUtils of Commons
Lang.
</action>
<action dev="oheger" type="add" issue="CONFIGURATION-237" due-to="Nicolas de Loof">
With ManagedReloadingStrategy a new reloading strategy for file-based
configurations was added that can be triggered through JMX.
</action>
<action dev="oheger" type="update">
The dependencies to Commons Lang, Commons Collections, and Commons Digester
are updated to use the recent available version. However older versions
will still work.
</action>
<action dev="oheger" type="add">
A pom for maven 2 was added.
</action>
<action dev="oheger" type="update" issue="CONFIGURATION-252">
ConfigurationUtils.getFile() now always checks first whether the passed
in file name is absolute. If it is, this file will be returned. This
prevents that on Unix under certain circumstances absolute file names
are interpreted as relative ones.
</action>
<action dev="oheger" type="update" issue="CONFIGURATION-251">
The dependency to xml-apis was changed to the version 1.0.b2. The so
far used version 2.0.2 is reported to be bogus.
</action>
<action dev="oheger" type="add" issue="CONFIGURATION-245">
In addition to configuration event listeners now so-called configuration
error listeners are supported. These listeners are notified about
internal errors that had been logged and swallowed by privious versions.
The new enableRuntimeExceptions() method of ConfigurationUtils
registers a special error listener at the passed in configuration that
generates a runtime exception when an error event is received.
</action>
<action dev="oheger" type="add">
AbstractConfiguration now allows to set an instance specific logger
using the setLogger() method. This gives clients more control over a
configuration's logging behavior.
</action>
<action dev="oheger" type="add" issue="CONFIGURATION-155">
SubsetConfiguration and CompositeConfiguration were updated to fully
support an instance specific list delimiter. Concerning splitting of
string properties that contain a list delimiter character, these
classes now behave like a "normal" configuration.
</action>
<action dev="oheger" type="add" issue="CONFIGURATION-192">
Variable interpolation features have been improved. A variable can now
have the form ${prefix:variableName} where the prefix
defines the type of the variable. The standard types sys for
system properties and const for constants are supported.
Variables without a prefix are treated as references to other
configuration properties (which is compatible to earlier versions).

<action dev="oheger" type="update">
Commons Configuration now depends on Commons Lang 2.2. Some features
of Lang's new text package are used.
</action>
<action dev="oheger" type="update" issue="CONFIGURATION-244">
The number of dependencies needed for DefaultConfigurationBuilder was
reduced by letting some of the default configuration providers resolve
their classes per reflection.
</action>
<action dev="oheger" type="update" issue="CONFIGURATION-240">
File-based configurations with a reloading strategy did not work well
together with CombinedConfiguration because the reloading strategy is
only checked when its associated configuration is accessed (which does
not happen when only the combined configuration is queried).
As a workaround CombinedConfiguration now provides the boolean
forceReloadCheck property. If this is set to true, all contained
configurations will be triggered when a property is queried. This will
cause a reload if necessary.
</action>
<action dev="oheger" type="add" issue="CONFIGURATION-243">
Configuration declarations in the configuration definition file for
DefaultConfigurationBuilder that are marked as optional now support a
new attribute config-forceCreate. If this attribute is set
to true and the initialization of the configuration fails,
DefaultConfigurationBuilder tries to add an empty configuration of the

<action dev="ebourg" type="update">
Unified the mechanisms for loading and saving file based configurations.
PropertiesConfiguration, XMLConfiguration and HierarchicalXMLConfiguration
now implement the same FileConfiguration interface. BasePathLoader,
BasePathConfiguration, ClassPropertiesConfiguration and
BasePropertiesConfiguration have been removed.

Added save methods in XMLConfiguration similar to PropertiesConfiguration
to save the configuration to another file.
</action>
<action dev="ebourg" type="update">
Removed the DOM4J implementations in favor of the DOM ones.

HierarchicalDOMConfiguration to HierarchicalXMLConfiguration. The
elements parsed by the ConfigurationFactory have been changed

<action dev="epugh" type="add">
Changed CompositeConfiguration to extend from AbstractConfiuration. This means that the behavior of
CompositeConfiguration is much similar to others like PropertiesConfiguration in handling of missing
keys, interpolation, etc.. Previously CompositeConfiguration had quite a few differences.
</action>
<action dev="epugh" type="update">
Removed "defaults" from BaseConfiguration. Defaults are now done via using a CompositeConfiguration, either
directly or via a ConfigurationFactory. if you want to save changes made to a Configuration, then you use
a CompositeConfiguration and get back the inMemoryConfiguration that has the delta of changes. Added a
bit of documentation on this.
</action>
<action dev="epugh" type="update" issue="CONFIGURATION-154">
Enhancement: Configuration Comparator.
</action>
<action dev="epugh" type="update" issue="CONFIGURATION-54">
BaseConfiguration: containsKey ignores default properties.
I have changed it so that now the defaults are paid attention to.
</action>
<action dev="ebourg" type="add">
The Configuration interface now supports BigDecimal and BigInteger numbers.
</action>
<action dev="epugh" type="add">
ConfigurationException is now thrown by public methods instead of Exception or
IOException or whatnot.

<action dev="ebourg" type="add">
For configuration based on properties files, allow characters like \n etc
to be escaped and unescaped.
</action>
<action dev="ebourg" type="add">
New DatabaseConfiguration that uses a database to store the properties.
It supports 2 table structures: one table per configuration (2 colums
key/value), one table for multiple configurations (2 columns key/value +
1 column for the name of the configuration).
</action>
<action dev="oheger" type="add">
ConfigurationFactory now supports the hierarchicalDom4j element in configuration
definition file
</action>
<action dev="ebourg" type="update">
Change all Vector objects to List objects.
</action>
<action dev="oheger" type="add">
ConfigurationFactory now supports two types of properties files, additional and
override. Additional properties add each other together. Override override each
other. This allows you to have a single property that is either aggregated from a
number of sources, or have a property that is overridden according to a specific
order of sources.
</action>
<action dev="oheger" type="update">
AbstractConfiguration addProperty now delegates to an abstract addPropertyDirect
implemented by BaseConfiguration.
</action>
<action dev="kshaposhnikov" type="update">
Changed getString() method to throw a NoSuchElementException instead of "" if the
configuration property doesn't exist.
</action>
<action dev="kshaposhnikov" type="add">
Added AbstractConfiguration to make it easier to create subclasses by only
having to implement the methods required.
</action>
<action dev="bdunbar" type="fix">
ClassPropertiesConfiguration Additions:
Use the classloader of class that is provided by the constructor.
Add a constructor that indicates whether to use relative or absolute.
Change getPropertyStream to utilize the relative or absolute flag.
Add a test case that checks that absolute paths work.
</action>
<action dev="epugh" type="fix">
JNDIConfiguration.getKeys() Addition:
The JNDIConfiguration.getKeys() method was returning an unsupported
operation error. However, this is an important method to have
supported.
</action>
<action dev="epugh" type="fix">
CompositeConfiguration.getKeys() Fix
The CompositeConfiguration.getKeys() method was returning an
unordered list of configuration values. However, many apps
expect the order that keys are returned to be the order they
are added into the properties file.
