[jira] Created: (CONFIGURATION-327) INIConfiguration Global
parameters alias sectional parameters
INIConfiguration Global parameters alias sectional parameters
-------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CONFIGURATION-327
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-327
Project: Commons Configuration
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Documentation, Format
Reporter: Charles Honton
After reading the following file with INIConfiguration
default = ok
dotted.var1 = default
[section1]
dotted.var1 = foo
var2 = doodle
The set of sections returned by INIConfiguration.getSections() includes "dotted" and "section1". I did not expect a section "dotted".

[jira] Updated: (CONFIGURATION-327) INIConfiguration Global
parameters alias sectional parameters
Posted by "Emmanuel Bourg (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-327?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Emmanuel Bourg updated CONFIGURATION-327:
-----------------------------------------
Affects Version/s: 1.5
The sections are deduced from the prefixes of the keys, that's why "dotted" is considered as a section. To prevent this we should probably turn INIConfiguration into a hierarchical configuration, the sections being the first level nodes.

INIConfiguration.diff
A potential fix. However, it does change the names of the keys.

[jira] Resolved: (CONFIGURATION-327) INIConfiguration Global
parameters alias sectional parameters
Posted by "Oliver Heger (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-327?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Oliver Heger resolved CONFIGURATION-327.
----------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Fix Version/s: 1.6
A new class {{HierarchicalINIConfiguration}} was created, which provides enhanced functionality and is also a truly hierarchical configuration. It correctly deals with variables with dots in their names in the global section.

[jira] Commented: (CONFIGURATION-327) INIConfiguration Global
parameters alias sectional parameters

Charles Honton commented on CONFIGURATION-327:
----------------------------------------------
Alternatively, since the ini format does not allow brackets in a key name, include brackets in the section part of the key name. The example above would contain:
default = ok
dotted.var1 = default
[section1].dotted.var1 = foo
[section1].var2 = doodle
This would break prior clients expecting a particular name aliasing. This would not break clients properly appending the section name to the key name to get the property.

Oliver Heger commented on CONFIGURATION-327:
--------------------------------------------
Making INIConfiguration a true hierarchical configuration is certainly the future-proof solution because in the next major release of Commons Configuration all configuration classes are intended to be hierarchical. This will also address some of the other tickets created for INIConfiguration. I will try to create such a hierarchical implementation.
Unfortunately changing the inheritance structure from AbstractFileConfiguration to AbstractHierarchicalFileConfiguration is a binary incompatible change. So I will have to create a new class, say HierarchicalINIConfiguration. We can then deprecate the original INIConfiguration.
