             Summary: CombinedConfigurationBuilder should allow inheriting settings to child configurations
                 Key: CONFIGURATION-619
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-619
             Project: Commons Configuration
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 2.0-beta2
            Reporter: Oliver Heger


In a typical scenario, configuration sources loaded by a {{CombinedConfigurationBuilder}} will use similar formats and conventions. Therefore, it makes sense that typical settings specified for the builder (like list delimiter handling, the XML expression engine, etc.) are shared by child configurations per default if applicable.

Note that it is currently possible to achieve something similar by making use of default values. However, a mechanism for inheriting settings to child configurations is easier to use and more convenient.
