XMLConfigurationProvider in DefaultConfigurationBuilder has default scope. When configuring a new ConfigurationProvider to use a class that extends XMLConfiguration an Exception is raised because the setConfigurationClass method cannot be called from the bean utility classes.

Patch applied in revision 713166. Many thanks.

Note: I was unable to port this patch to the configuration2 branch because the new type converters cannot deal with conversions to Class objects. We will have to port this later if necessary.

Thanks. I will take a look at what to do on the configuration2 branch.

In this branch the dependency to commons-beanutils was dropped and replaced by an own converter framework (in the converter package). Obviously these converters are not yet as powerful as the ones of beanutils were. In this special case a converter for Class objects is missing.

But maybe we should create a new ticket for this issue.
