[configuraiton] Save multiple values in one line

[Kenji Nakamura <ke...@clazzsoft.com>]

Hi,

I just started to explorer commons-configuration, and got the
following problem.
I'd like to save a property to a file with List type value in one line.
By default, the output looks like this.
key = value1
key = value2

I want to make the output like this.
key = value1, value2

I managed to do this by setting "0"  temporarily as the delimiter in
ProeprtiesConfiguration. However, even after I set back the original
delimiter ',', calling getList() returns a single entry containing
"value1,value2" as the value.
In addition to that, I don't want to change the delimiter because it
is static and affects all threads using AbstractConfiguration and the
subclasses.

Is there a way to save list values in one-line without resorting to
changing the delimiter temporarily?

Thanks in advance,

PropertiesConfiguration ATM always writes multiple lines when a property
has multiple values. I think, it would be a good idea to make this more
flexible. Could you please open a new enhancement request for this
feature in bugzilla (see
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/configuration/issue-tracking.html)? It
should not be too complicated to implement.

Thanks,
Oliver
