Description

I think there's an error in the documentation for commons-configuration
examples page.
If I use this example:
ConfigurationFactory factory = new ConfigurationFactory();
URL configURL = getClass().getResource("/config.xml");
factory.setConfigurationFileName(configURL.toString());
Configuration config = factory.getConfiguration();

I get a NPE, but if I change to this:
ConfigurationFactory factory = new ConfigurationFactory();
URL configURL = getClass().getResource("/config.xml");

• factory.setConfigurationFileName(configURL.toString());
  + factory.setConfigurationFileName(configURL.getFile());
  Configuration config = factory.getConfiguration();

everthing is fine. Basically, the setConfigFileName in ConfigurationFactory is
not expecting a URI its expecting a path i think?
