setup commons-configuration as spring context bean

[ndeloof]

Hello,

I'm trying to configure in my Spring context a commons-configuration "CompositeConfiguration".

I can setup a simple Configuration instance using :

<bean id="aSimpleConfig" class="org.apache.commons.configuration.PropertiesConfiguration"
		init-method="load">
		<property name="URL">		
			<value>classpath&#58;/org/springframework/context/support/messages.properties</value>
		</property>
	</bean>

I'd like to setup a CompositeConfiguration (that merges multiple Configuration instances) but it requires to call "addConfiguration(config)" for every configuration instance to set in the composite. I don't know how to do this using IoC syntax (perhaps it's out of scope).

Has someone used compositeConfiguration with Spring ? Should I ask commons-configuration developers to add a "setConfigList(List)" to the compositeConfiguration class to be useable in a IoC context ?

Nico.

I've submited issue http://opensource.atlassian.com/proj...rowse/SPR-1018 about this, using "iterative" injection suggested in the thread you pointed me to.
