Oliver, thanks for the info. I am indeed using release 1.3. And you're
right, the $$ does escape the variable character, in some circumstances.
I didn't get much time to work on this today, but when I changed it to
only have one entry in the property that looks like a variable, it works
okay:
myproperty=$${DB2UNIVERSAL_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH}/db2jcc.jar
However, if I have multiple entries, that is when I am getting the error:
myproperty=$${DB2UNIVERSAL_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH}/db2jcc.jar,$${DB2UNIVERSAL_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH}/db2jcc_license_cu.jar,$${DB2UNIVERSAL_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH}/db2jcc_license_cisuz.jar
I need to do some more testing, to see what combinations of this work
and which ones don't. But thanks for giving me something to go on!
Is it possible that your problem is related to list parsing? (You have
the "," in your property value, which will be interpreted as list
delimiter per default, resulting in a property with multiple values.)
I have written a test case that looks roughly like this:
config.addProperty("mypath",
"$${DB2UNIVERSAL_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH}/db2jcc.jar\\,$${DB2UNIVERSAL_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH}/db2jcc_license_cu.jar");
assertEquals("Wrong interpolated value",
"${DB2UNIVERSAL_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH}/db2jcc.jar,${DB2UNIVERSAL_JDBC_DRIVER_PATH}/db2jcc_license_cu.jar",
config.getString("mypath"));
This works for me. Note that I escaped the "," character. (The test also
works if the "," is not escaped, but then only the first part of the
value string will be returned by getString().)
If you think there is a bug in the interpolation handling, please open a
ticket in our bug tracking system [1].
Thanks

Hi Dave,
which version of Commons Configuration do you use? Since the 1.3
release substituation of variables is handled by the StrSubstitutor
class of Commons Lang [1]. Here the '$' sign is used for escaping
variables, so your 3rd example
myproperty=$${myNonCommonsConfigVariable}
should work. There is also a unit test that checks this behavior:
public void testInterpolationEscaped()
{
config.addProperty("var", "x");
config.addProperty("escVar", "Use the variable $${${var}}.");
assertEquals("Wrong escaped variable", "Use the variable
${x}.", config
.getString("escVar"));
}
IIRC in earlier versions of Configuration escaping variables was not
supported.
