Description

Using a SPRING config like this:

<bean id="configurationFactory" class="org.apache.commons.configuration.DefaultConfigurationBuilder" >
<constructor-arg>
<value>configuration.xml</value>
</constructor-arg>
</bean>

<bean id="config" factory-bean="configurationFactory" factory-method="getConfiguration" />

and a the configuration.xml is:

<configuration>
<system />
<header>
<result delimiterParsingDisabled="true" forceReloadCheck="true"
config-class="org.apache.commons.configuration.DynamicCombinedConfiguration"
keyPattern="${sys:Id}">
</result>
<providers>
<provider config-tag="multifile"
config-class="org.apache.commons.configuration.DefaultConfigurationBuilder$FileConfigurationProvider"
configurationClass="org.apache.commons.configuration.MultiFileHierarchicalConfiguration"/>
</providers>
</header>
<override>
<multifile filePattern="conf/${sys:Id}/test.xml" config-name="clientConfig"/>
</override>
</configuration>

invoking to config.getString("any") always return null.

Debuging I found that at MultiFileHierarchicalConfiguration in getConfiguration() when a new XMLConfiguration was created as an Inner class.
The load() method has been overloded to an empty one. That was preventing the configuration to read the file.
