[jira] Closed: (CONFIGURATION-354) XML configuration handles non-default list delimiter bad way

["Peter Verhas (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-354?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Peter Verhas closed CONFIGURATION-354.
--------------------------------------

       Resolution: Fixed
    Fix Version/s: 1.5

I tried to modify the {{config.xml}} file as you pointed and it works fine. This also means that now I did try it out for {{ConfigurationFactory}}. :-)

I was not aware that {{config.txt}} may also define the list delimiter.

As for my case this is a very good practice. I am developing company policy regarding the use of commons config and I will discourage to use list inside XML configuration. This means that listDelimiter will be set to something like

{code}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <xml fileName="application.xml" listDelimiter="\u0000"/>
</configuration>
{code}

which will prevent to interpret any probable character as list delimiter.

Thanks,
Peter

> When setting the list separator character the XML configuration engine does not handle the lists properly. Sample code:
> Junit test code:
> {code}
>     public void testConfig() {
>         CompositeConfiguration conf = null;
>         try {
>             conf = (CompositeConfiguration) new ConfigurationFactory("config.xml").getConfiguration();
>         } catch (ConfigurationException ex) {
>             Logger.getLogger(TestConfig.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
>             return;
>         }
>         PrintStream o = System.out;
>         conf.setListDelimiter(conf.getString("list.delimiter").charAt(0));
>         o.println("c=" + conf.getString("c"));
>         o.println("x="+conf.getString("key.subkey(1)"));
>         o.print(System.getProperty("java.version"));
>     }
> {code}
> The config.xml contains
> {code}
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
> <configuration>
>   <xml fileName="application.xml"/>
> </configuration>
> {code}
> and finally the application.xml is
> {code}
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1250"?>
> <konfig>
>     <list><delimiter>\,</delimiter></list>
>     <key>
>         <subkey>one,two,three</subkey>
>         <subkey >four</subkey>
>     </key>
>     <c>${key.subkey(1)}</c>
> </konfig>
> {code}
> The resulting output is:
> {code}
> c=two
> x=two
> 1.6.0_07
> {code}
> This is correct so far. This is the case when I comment out the {{setListDelimiter}} code line. After this I change the application.xml to
> {code}
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1250"?>
> <konfig>
>     <list><delimiter>;</delimiter></list>
>     <key>
>         <subkey>one;two;three</subkey>
>         <subkey >four</subkey>
>     </key>
>     <c>${key.subkey(1)}</c>
> </konfig>
> {code}
> even though I expect the same result what I got was:
> {code}
> c=four
> x=four
> 1.6.0_07
> {code}
> Do I miss some point or {{setListDelimiter}} does not work for XML files?
