• Class Summary 

  Class	Description
  AbstractConfiguration	Abstract configuration class.
  AbstractFileConfiguration	Partial implementation of the FileConfiguration interface.
  AbstractHierarchicalFileConfiguration	Base class for implementing file based hierarchical configurations.
  BaseConfiguration	Basic configuration class.
  BaseConfigurationXMLReader	A specialized SAX2 XML parser that processes configuration objects.
  CombinedConfiguration	A hierarchical composite configuration class.
  CompositeConfiguration	CompositeConfiguration allows you to add multiple Configuration objects to an aggregated configuration.
  ConfigurationConverter	Configuration converter.
  ConfigurationFactory	Deprecated Use DefaultConfigurationBuilder instead; this class provides the same features as ConfigurationFactory plus some more; it can also process the same configuration definition files.
  ConfigurationFactory.AdditionalConfigurationData	A simple data class that holds all information about a configuration from the <additional> section.
  ConfigurationFactory.ConfigurationBuilder	An internally used helper class for constructing the composite configuration object.
  ConfigurationKey	Deprecated Use DefaultConfigurationKey instead.
  ConfigurationMap	The ConfigurationMap wraps a configuration-collection Configuration instance to provide a Map interface.
  ConfigurationUtils	Miscellaneous utility methods for configurations.
  ConfigurationXMLReader	A base class for "faked" XMLReader classes that transform a configuration object in a set of SAX parsing events.
  DatabaseConfiguration	Configuration stored in a database.
  DataConfiguration	Decorator providing additional getters for any Configuration.
  DefaultConfigurationBuilder	A factory class that creates a composite configuration from an XML based configuration definition file.
  DefaultConfigurationBuilder.ConfigurationDeclaration	A specialized BeanDeclaration implementation that represents the declaration of a configuration source.
  DefaultConfigurationBuilder.ConfigurationProvider	A base class for creating and initializing configuration sources.
  DefaultConfigurationBuilder.FileConfigurationProvider	A specialized provider implementation that deals with file based configurations.
  DefaultConfigurationBuilder.XMLConfigurationProvider	A specialized configuration provider for XML configurations.
  DefaultFileSystem	FileSystem that uses java.io.File or HttpClient
  DynamicCombinedConfiguration	DynamicCombinedConfiguration allows a set of CombinedConfigurations to be used.
  EnvironmentConfiguration	A Configuration implementation that reads the platform specific environment variables using the map returned by System.getenv().
  FileSystem	Abstract layer to allow various types of file systems.
  HierarchicalConfiguration	A specialized configuration class that extends its base class by the ability of keeping more structure in the stored properties.
  HierarchicalConfiguration.BuilderVisitor	A specialized visitor base class that can be used for storing the tree of configuration nodes.
  HierarchicalConfiguration.Node	A data class for storing (hierarchical) property information.
  HierarchicalConfiguration.NodeVisitor	Definition of a visitor class for traversing a node and all of its children.
  HierarchicalConfigurationXMLReader	A specialized SAX2 XML parser that "parses" hierarchical configuration objects.
  HierarchicalINIConfiguration	A specialized hierarchical configuration implementation for parsing ini files.
  HierarchicalReloadableConfiguration	A base class for hierarchical configurations with specific reloading requirements.
  HierarchicalXMLConfiguration	Deprecated This class is deprecated.
  INIConfiguration	Deprecated This class has been replaced by HierarchicalINIConfiguration, which provides a superset of the functionality offered by this class.
  JNDIConfiguration	This Configuration class allows you to interface with a JNDI datasource.
  Lock	A simple class acting as lock.
  MapConfiguration	A Map based Configuration.
  MultiFileHierarchicalConfiguration	This class provides access to multiple configuration files that reside in a location that can be specified by a pattern allowing applications to be multi-tenant.
  PatternSubtreeConfigurationWrapper	Wraps a HierarchicalConfiguration and allows subtrees to be access via a configured path with replaceable tokens derived from the ConfigurationInterpolator.
  PropertiesConfiguration	This is the "classic" Properties loader which loads the values from a single or multiple files (which can be chained with "include =".
  PropertiesConfiguration.DefaultIOFactory	A default implementation of the IOFactory interface.
  PropertiesConfiguration.PropertiesReader	This class is used to read properties lines.
  PropertiesConfiguration.PropertiesWriter	This class is used to write properties lines.
  PropertiesConfigurationLayout	A helper class used by PropertiesConfiguration to keep the layout of a properties file.
  PropertyConverter	A utility class to convert the configuration properties into any type.
  StrictConfigurationComparator	Strict comparator for configurations.
  SubnodeConfiguration	A specialized hierarchical configuration class that wraps a single node of its parent configuration.
  SubsetConfiguration	A subset of another configuration.
  SystemConfiguration	A configuration based on the system properties.
  VFSFileSystem	FileSystem that uses Commons VFS
  XMLConfiguration	A specialized hierarchical configuration class that is able to parse XML documents.
  XMLPropertiesConfiguration	This configuration implements the XML properties format introduced in Java 5.0, see http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Properties.html.
