Oliver Heger updated CONFIGURATION-294:
---------------------------------------

    Fix Version/s: 1.5
         Assignee: Oliver Heger

You are right, this is a bug.

The problem seems to be that the nodes passed to addNodes() are directly added to the internal node structure without checking for their type: If they are HierarchicalConfiguration.Node objects and not XMLConfiguration.XMLNode objects, a change of their value is not reflected in the internally hold XML document.

A solution is to convert the nodes in addNodes() to the correct type XMLNode if necessary.

> I'm using XMLConfiguration to manipulate my xml configuration file. Here is what I did,
> 1) Add a new node using "addNodes"
> 2) Save the configuration (using save method)
> 3) The new node gets added to the configuration file   <--- Good
> 4) Now try setting a value in the just added new node using "setProperty" method.
> 5) Save the configuration (using save method)
> 6) The save method still writes the configuration that was in step 3        <------- Bug
> Looks like for some reason the save still holds the old configuration in cache that after the add nodes. If I call "reload" after each save then everything works fine. 
> Just a setProperty on its own (without addNodes) work fine. It's only when you try to addNodes and then do setProperty that this fails.
> I've tried this with the latest nightly build (1.5), released 1.4 and 1.3 --> all of them fail in this situation.
