-------------------------------------------

Hi,

Sorry to disturb but I would like to have some news about the progress of issues. Do you think a release is possible before August 15th? 
How could I help you?

Thanks in advance,
BRABANT Benjamin

> Hello,
> I actually use digester API in a project in which I have to initialize components of a system according to an XML configuration. The complete ClassName of the factories in charge of loading the associated components is specified in the configuration file (hereinbelow a simplified example). Thus, the loader class in charge of loading components, read the XML file and, thanks to the {{overriddenByAttribute(String attributeName)}} function provided by the {{FactoryCreateBuilder}} class, execute the right factory method specified by the XML "factory" attribute.
> A problem appeared when I try to load several components of the same type (=> same XML pattern) which are initialized from different factories (below the sample to illustrate the description !).
> *XML Config File :*
> {code:xml}
> <loader>
>   <components>
>     <collectors>
>       <collector id="collector" class="foo.bar.DefaultCollector" factory="foo.bar.DefaultCollectorFactory" /> <!-- The first collector component to load -->
>       <collector id="command" class="foo.bar.CommandCollector" factory="foo.bar.CommandCollectorFactory" /> <!-- The second collector component to load -->
>     </collectors>
>     <analyzers>
>       <analyzer id="analyzer" class="foo.baz.DefaultAnalyzer" factory="foo.baz.DefaultAnalyzerFactory" /> <!-- The only analyzer component to load -->
>     </analyzers>
>   </components>
> </loader>
> {code}
> *AbstractRulesModule Implementation :*
> {code:title=LoaderConfigurationModule.java|borderStyle=solid}
> package foo;
> import org.apache.commons.digester3.binder.AbstractRulesModule;
> public class LoaderConfigurationModule extends AbstractRulesModule {
> 	
> 	\@Override
> 	protected void configure() \{
> 		forPattern("loader/components/collectors/collector")
> 				.factoryCreate().ofType(AbstractCollectorFactory.class).overriddenByAttribute("factory")
> 				.setNext("addCollector");
> 		forPattern("loader/components/analyzers/analyzer")
> 				.factoryCreate().ofType(AbstractAnalyzerFactory.class).overriddenByAttribute("factory")
> 				.setNext("addAnalyzer");
> 	\}
> }
> {code}
> When I execute the Digester.parse() method (after passing on the LoaderConfigurationModule to the DigesterLoader), I obtain the result below :
> {noformat}
> 2013-06-10 [main] INFO  - Loading Collector [class foo.bar.DefaultCollector]...
> 2013-06-10 [main] INFO  - Loading Collector [class foo.bar.DefaultCollector]...
> 2013-06-10 [main] INFO  - Loading Analyzer [class foo.baz.DefaultAnalyzer]...
> {noformat} 
> In fact, when having the same pattern (here _loader/components/collectors/collector_) for multiple creation factories, the digester only use the first instance for the pattern (in this case foo.bar.DefaultCollectorFactory]. We realize that the Analyzer which is associated with another pattern is correctly initialized.
> I hope being clear in my explanation, thus I would like you (please :) ) to explain me if I am doing a mistake in my code or if it's really a bug in the digester and if you have an idea to solve that. I am trying to find a solution too, but being new in this project, it is not very easy for me. I will post my find in case of success in my search !
> Thanks for reading and sorry for my bad english !
> EDIT [17/06/2013] : I attached the patch adding the failing TestCase
