           Summary: PropertiesConfiguration doesn't throw exception when
                    path is directory
           Product: Commons
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Configuration
        AssignedTo: commons-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: moran@place-base.com


When I use a string which is a directory to create a PropertiesConfiguration, no
exception is thrown.  However, the configuration is unusable as it has no
properties.

For example, I do

<code>
PropertiesConfiguration temp = 
	new PropertiesConfiguration("c:/baddirectory");
</code>

I get the expected

<code>
org.apache.commons.configuration.ConfigurationException: Cannot locate 
configuration source baddirectory 
</code>

However, when I do

PropertiesConfiguration temp2 = new 
PropertiesConfiguration("c:/windows");

I don't get any exception.  The difference between "baddirectory" and "windows"
is that the former doesn't exist and the latter does.
