[commons-config]: setting listdelimiters

[Michiel Kalkman <mi...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

It is possible to change the delimiters for lists in configurations
using AbstractConfiguration::setDelimiterParsingDisabled() or
AbstractConfiguration::setDefaultListDelimiter().

But this is in code.

Can someone tell me whether it is possible to provide the delimiter in
the configuration itself, e.g. in an XML configuration  ?

Thanks and regards,
Michiel

The plain configuration classes like XMLConfiguration or 
PropertiesConfiguration do not support this, but using 
DefaultConfigurationBuilder (have a look at the user's guide [1]) it is 
possible to set arbitrary properties on the configuration sources 
declared in the definition file.

For instance, you could have something like the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<configuration>
   <xml fileName="test.xml" delimiterParsingDisabled="true"/>
</configuration>

In this example parsing of list delimiters is disabled for the embedded 
XML configuration.
