Re: [configuration] union of hierarchical xml configurations in composite configuration

[Oliver Heger <he...@med.uni-marburg.de>]

Unfortunately the configuration API does not provide a simple way to 
construct a union configuration manually. ATM this is done by the inner 
class ConfigurationBuilder of ConfigurationFactory, which creates a 
hierarchical configuration object for all configurations to be united by 
eventually converting them into hierarchical configurations and adding 
their root nodes to a new configuration.

If you have a look at this class, you may get some ideas how to solve 
your problem. Perhaps you can even use this class directly - I didn't 
try this.

I think the API for constructing composite configurations (unions and 
overrides) could be improved in the next version of [configuration].
