[jira] [Created] (CONFIGURATION-456) AbstractConfiguration.getKeys(String prefix) docs doesn't say about the point ('.')

AbstractConfiguration.getKeys(String prefix) docs doesn't say about the point ('.')
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: CONFIGURATION-456
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-456
             Project: Commons Configuration
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Documentation
    Affects Versions: 1.6
            Reporter: Mirco Andreon
            Priority: Trivial


For the method org.apache.commons.configuration.AbstractConfiguration.getKeys(String prefix) the documentation doesn't say that to the prefix will be added a point character ('.') to filter the keys list (http://commons.apache.org/configuration/apidocs/org/apache/commons/configuration/AbstractConfiguration.html#getKeys%28java.lang.String%29). I discovered it only reading the source.
Maybe I should have known this behaviour, but I think a lot of occasional users could face this unpredictable behaviour. Specifying this would be very helpfull.
Many thanks for your wonderful libraries!
