> Sometimes we are using CompositeConfiguration in our code. During last investigation we've found out that configuration source passed during constructor call is 'NULL_SOURCE'. It's a bit confusing because it conflicts with NULL_SOURCE definition 
> {noformat}
>     /**
>      * ConfigurationSource to use with Configurations that do not require a "real" configuration source.
>      */
>     public static final ConfigurationSource NULL_SOURCE = new ConfigurationSource(new byte[0]);
> {noformat}
> because actually we have a 'composite' or 'multiple' configuration sources which will be used later to produce real configuration. 
> The question is: do you mind to create 'COMPOSITE_SOURCE' constant and use it in CompositeConfiguration?
