First impressions are that yes it's [very] flexible, my only criticisms being that it doesn't use generics, and that it's a pretty big API, whereas the single-class solution is nice and light weight and probably caters for the majority of use cases. Anyway, whether that warrants another interface is questionable... probably not. Cheers, Chris. Have you considered commons-configuration [1]?=C2=A0 It seems to me it does= what=20 you want, while being very flexible and robust.
