Subject: [Commons Configuration] Just One More Thing!
Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2008 08:40:45 +1200

Hello again,

I've spent some time with the test class, and managed to get to the =20
data I need.

I still don't have any idea how to use =20
"config.getProperty("stringleadingtoproperty")" though.

And thus, I suspect I will be unable to use =20
"config.setProperty("stringleadingtoproperty", "newproperty")"...

This is what I used to find the data I need:

***CODE***

public void testNestedArray()
    {
        String key =3D "SandwichFillings";

        Object array =3D config.getProperty(key);

        // root array
        assertNotNull("array not found", array);
        ObjectAssert.assertInstanceOf("the array element is not parsed =20=

as a List", List.class, array);
        List list =3D config.getList(key);

        System.out.println(list.size());

        assertFalse("empty array", list.isEmpty());
        assertEquals("size", 1, list.size());

        XMLPropertyListConfiguration o  =3D =20
(XMLPropertyListConfiguration) list.get(0);

        Iterator k =3D o.getKeys();

        while(k.hasNext()){

            key =3D (String) k.next();

            if(o.getProperty(key) instanceof String){
                System.out.println(o.getString(key));
            }
            System.out.println();
        }

    }

***/CODE***

Output is:

***OUTPUT***

1
self
html
Original
High
Default
SIDE TITLE
utf-8

***/OUTPUT***

When I saw that I almost cried, I was so happy.

So my question now is, what string would one use to access SIDETITLE =20
directly?

It is in a Dictionary, which is in an Array - the property of =20
SandwichFillings.

I've tried a few strings, but I don't really know the syntax, or what =20=

is possible so it's like stumbling around in the dark.

Could someone please let me know how I am able to 1) access this data, =20=

2) change the value.

Thank you for your time and patience,

Mike

One thing is for sure, Vista isn=92t the answer.
