> Assume you are using the following configuration type:
> {code}
>     public interface MyConfig {
>         public default List<String> getList() { 
>         	return Arrays.asList("a", "b");
>         }        
>     }
> {code}
> So, you can then declare the following values in the actual configuration dictionary for the "list" key:
> {code}
> list=[a,b]
> or
> list.0=a
> list.1=b
> {code}
> But assuming that you now want to register in config admin a configuration dictionary with an empty list (you really want an empty list []): then it is not currently possible, because if you don't declare any values for the "list" key, then the default value of the configuration type will be returned (see FELIX5399).
> And if you declare the following value for the "list" key:
> list=[]
> then it does not work too  (an empty list won't be returned) because the "toCollection" method in the Configurable.java class calls: 
> {code}
> Arrays.asList(str.split("\\s*,\\s*"))
> {code}
> which then returns an array of size=1, instead of returning an array of zero size.
