[jira] [Commented] (CONFIGURATION-441) CompositeConfiguration does not resolve referenced properties correctly

["Fabien Nisol (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-441?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13014142#comment-13014142 ] 

Fabien Nisol commented on CONFIGURATION-441:
--------------------------------------------

I think overriding the _interpolate(Object)_ and _getProperty(String key)_ on CompositeConfiguration like this should do the trick:
{code}
/**
     * Read property from underlying composite
     *
     * @param key key to use for mapping
     *
     * @return object associated with the given configuration key.
     */
    public Object getProperty(String key)
    {
        Object value = null;
        for (Iterator i = configList.iterator(); i.hasNext();)
        {
            Configuration config = (Configuration) i.next();
            if (config.containsKey(key))
            {
                value = config.getProperty(key); 
            }
        }
        if(value==null)
            return null;
        else
            return interpolate(value);

    }

    ...

    /**
     * Read property from underlying composite
     *
     * @param key key to use for mapping
     *
     * @return object associated with the given configuration key.
     */
    public Object getProperty(String key)
    {
        Object value = null;
        for (Iterator i = configList.iterator(); i.hasNext();)
        {
            Configuration config = (Configuration) i.next();
            if (config.containsKey(key))
            {
                value = config.getProperty(key); 
            }
        }
        if(value==null)
            return null;
        else
            return interpolate(value);

    }
{code}

>             Project: Commons Configuration
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Interpolation
>    Affects Versions: 1.5
>         Environment: all
>            Reporter: Fabien Nisol
>
> Imagine a composite configuration consisting of 
> config_x : configuration one
> property.one=one
> property.two=two
> config_y : configuration two
> property.one.ref=${property.one}
> When getProperty() is called on a CompositeConfiguration, property interpolation does not work if a property in config_x refers to a property in config_y, in the example, property.one.ref won't translate into "one"
> This seems to be caused by the getProperty() implementation of CompositeConfiguration
> {code:title=CompositeConfiguration.getProperty(String)}

> The methods finds the first configuration containing the key, and delegates the call to that particular configuration.
> A possible fix would be to try interpolation against every configuration until an interpolation succeed.
