Re: PropertiesConfiguration returning duplicate values from
The constructor called load once because you specified the file name. From what I can from the code every time you call load you are going to get another set of the properties.

RE: PropertiesConfiguration returning duplicate values from
Posted by "Allen, Justin" <Ju...@Teradata.com>.
Removing the extra load method corrected the problem. Thanks for
pointing this out.
I went back to the User Manual documentation and it does state the class
constructor does call load and the how to guide does mention you can
unionize multiple property files by calling load on multiple file.
One could argue there should be a more explicit statement about this
side effect, but maybe a FAQ on usage issue like this would be more
helpful instead. Personally I couldn't find this issue in a more
extensive Google search or searching within the mail archives.
Thanks for the quick response and tip.
