This configuration implements the XML properties format introduced in Java 5.0, see http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Properties.html. An XML properties file looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE properties SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd">
<properties>
  <comment>Description of the property list</comment>
  <entry key="key1">value1</entry>
  <entry key="key2">value2</entry>
  <entry key="key3">value3</entry>
</properties>
The Java 5.0 runtime is not required to use this class. The default encoding for this configuration format is UTF-8. Note that unlike PropertiesConfiguration, XMLPropertiesConfiguration does not support includes. Note:Configuration objects of this type can be read concurrently by multiple threads. However if one of these threads modifies the object, synchronization has to be performed manually.
Since:1.1
