Description

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<configuration>
<header>
<result delimiterParsingDisabled="true" forceReloadCheck="true" loggerName="TestLogger"
config-class="org.apache.commons.configuration.DynamicCombinedConfiguration"
keyPattern="$$${sys:filename}">

<override>
<system />
<multifile filePattern="/usr/config/$$$${sys:filename}.xml"
config-name="clientConfig1" delimiterParsingDisabled="true" schemaValidation="false">
<reloadingStrategy refreshDelay="500"
config-class="org.apache.commons.configuration.reloading.FileChangedReloadingStrategy"/>
</multifile>
<multifile filePattern="/usr/configclient/$$$${sys:filename}.properties"
config-name="clientConfig1" delimiterParsingDisabled="true" schemaValidation="false">
<reloadingStrategy refreshDelay="500"
config-class="org.apache.commons.configuration.reloading.FileChangedReloadingStrategy"/>
</multifile>
<xml fileName="portal/default.xml"
config-name="defaultConfig" delimiterParsingDisabled="true" schemaValidation="false">
<reloadingStrategy refreshDelay="500"
config-class="org.apache.commons.configuration.reloading.FileChangedReloadingStrategy"/>
</xml>
</override>
</configuration>

in the above MultiFileHierarchicalConfiguration config file, I want to load properties from both xml and properties file. Currently, in 1.8, only xml is supported. for .properties file, I get a SAX parsing exception.
