Commons Configuration Evaluation

["Thomas J. Buhr" <vi...@gmail.com>]

Commons Configuration,

Recently I came across the configuration package after having been  
excited about the configuration system in the InfoNode Docking system  
available at http://www.infonode.net

InfoNode has a powerful properties system which is part of their  
docking system, is anyone familiar with it? It creates large  
composite configurations with overrides which is something I would be  
interested in doing with Commons Configuration if possible.

After having spent more time looking into Commons Configuration I'm  
thinking that it may be a even better solution. The one thing missing  
is example code that runs. The tutorial covers a lot of scenarios but  
it is very difficult to find any samples that use Commons  
Configuration. Having samples that go along with the tutorial would  
help me evaluate and make the switch a lot faster.

Are the tutorial samples available some where?

Best Regards,

Thom

Yes, the samples used in the user guide are only code fragments. There 
are no complete example programs in the official distribution.

Maybe the unit tests can be of interest for you? Some of them work on 
data similar to the examples of the user guide (e.g. the database table 
definition example). You can find the unit tests if you download the 
source distribution. They are under src/test. The example configuration 
files processed by the tests are below the conf directory.
