[Configuration] XMLConfiguration Duplicate Entries
I searched the archives (the best I could) but was unable to locate a
solution to this problem.
I am using commons configuration 1.3
I am seeing duplicate entries using the getStringArray method with an
XMLConfiguration.
Here is an example configuration file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<CollectiveVerificationTool>
<Topic>test</Topic>
<Publication>
<Username>user</Username>
<Password>usertest</Password>
</Publication>
<Hosts>
<Subscribers>node1</Subscribers>
<Publishers>node3</Publishers>
</Hosts>
</CollectiveVerificationTool>
Here is a code snippet that experiences the problem.
String single = configuration.getString( key );
System.out.println(single);
String value[] = configuration.getStringArray( key );
System.out.println("Size of Array: " + value.length);
System.out.println(Arrays.asList(value));
Here is the output of that snippet:
node1
Size of Array: 2
[node1, node1]
I would expect the size of the array to be 1 and the only item to be a
single entry of node1.
Any pointers are appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello Oliver,
Yep that was it..
Not sure where I copied that example from but I can't locate it on the
Jakarta site so must have been external.
Thanks for the help.. Makes sense now.

When you create a XMLConfiguration passing in the file name to the
constructor the XML document is immediately loaded. After that you call
the load() method, which causes the document to be loaded once again. As
is stated in the Javadocs for AbstractFileConfiguration (a base class of
XMLConfiguration) [1] a call to load() will not clear the configuration
first, but simply add the loaded properties. So you end up with having
all your properties twice.
Simply omit the call to load() or use the default constructor of
XMLConfiguration() and your problem should be solved.

Re: [Configuration] XMLConfiguration Duplicate Entries
Posted by Brian O'Connell <br...@vt.edu>.
Oliver,
I apologize for my incomplete snippet. Looking back it would be difficult
to track down what was going on. So lets try this one more time with some
complete code. :-)
XML Configuration Used:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<CollectiveVerificationTool>
<Topic>test</Topic>
<Publication>
<Username>user</Username>
<Password>usertest</Password>
</Publication>
<Hosts>
<Subscribers>node1</Subscribers>
<Publishers>node3</Publishers>
</Hosts>
</CollectiveVerificationTool>
Here is a sample class illustrating the issue:
import java.util.Arrays;
import org.apache.commons.configuration.Configuration;
import org.apache.commons.configuration.XMLConfiguration;
public class ConfigTest {
public ConfigTest() throws Exception {
XMLConfiguration config = new XMLConfiguration( "CVT.xml" );
config.setValidating( false );
config.load();
Configuration subConfig = config.subset( "Hosts" );
System.out.println(subConfig.getString( "Subscribers" ));
System.out.println(Arrays.asList(subConfig.getStringArray(
"Subscribers" )));
}
/**
* @param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
new ConfigTest();
}
}
Here is the output:
node1
[node1, node1]
I would expect the following output from that code above:
node1
[node1]
In other words I would expect a one element array returned by getStringArray
and the contents of that string array being "node1".
Thanks!

Sorry, but from this snippet I cannot track down the problem. Which
value has the key variable? How did you load the configuration?
