Oliver Heger commented on CONFIGURATION-434:
--------------------------------------------

As some testing shows, the problem is already in the loading of the configuration. After loading the test configuration the _Class Path_ property has been stripped after the first semicolon.

Your assumption is correct that the semicolon is interpreted as comment character, and the remaining part of the line is ignored. However, I think the semicolon should only be treated as comment character if there is at least one whitespace before it. I will try to fix this.

> Hi!
> I am developing an application using Commons Configuration API.
> And I got this problem.
> In the ini file like this:
> [Environment]
> Application Type=any
> Class Path=C:\Program Files\jar\manage.jar;C:\Program Files\jar\guiLauncher.jar;C:\Program Files\jar\appStart.jar;%USERPROFILE%;
> I changed the value of 'Application Type' from 'any' to 'gui' by using class HierarchicalINIConfiguration.
> The value was successfully modified, but instead the value of 'Class Path' was cut in the middle.
> It is reduced like this :  'Class Path=C:\Program Files\jar\manage.jar'
> In my opinion, the Configuration System regards the contents after ';' as comments, which disappeared from the file.
> Is this a kind of bug? Or is there a way to show all the contents after ';' properly?
> I appreciate if you give comments on this.
> Thank you.
