ConfigurationFactory.AdditionalConfigurationData	A simple data class that holds all information about a configuration from the <additional> section.
ConfigurationFactory.ConfigurationBuilder	An internally used helper class for constructing the composite configuration object.
ConfigurationKey	A simple class that supports creation of and iteration on complex configuration keys.
ConfigurationMap	The ConfigurationMap wraps a configuration-collection Configuration instance to provide a Map interface.
ConfigurationUtils	Miscellaneous utility methods for configurations.
ConfigurationXMLReader	A base class for "faked" XMLReader classes that transform a configuration object in a set of SAX parsing events.
DatabaseConfiguration	Configuration stored in a database.
DataConfiguration	Decorator providing additional getters for any Configuration.
DefaultConfigurationBuilder	A factory class that creates a composite configuration from an XML based configuration definition file.
DefaultConfigurationBuilder.ConfigurationDeclaration	A specialized BeanDeclaration implementation that represents the declaration of a configuration source.
DefaultConfigurationBuilder.ConfigurationProvider	A base class for creating and initializing configuration sources.

DefaultConfigurationBuilder.XMLConfigurationProvider	A specialized configuration provider for XML configurations.
DynamicCombinedConfiguration	DynamicCombinedConfiguration allows a set of CombinedConfigurations to be used.
EnvironmentConfiguration	A Configuration implementation that reads the platform specific environment variables.
HierarchicalConfiguration	A specialized configuration class that extends its base class by the ability of keeping more structure in the stored properties.
HierarchicalConfiguration.BuilderVisitor	A specialized visitor base class that can be used for storing the tree of configuration nodes.
HierarchicalConfiguration.Node	A data class for storing (hierarchical) property information.
HierarchicalConfiguration.NodeVisitor	Definition of a visitor class for traversing a node and all of its children.
HierarchicalConfigurationXMLReader	A specialized SAX2 XML parser that "parses" hierarchical configuration objects.
HierarchicalINIConfiguration	A specialized hierarchical configuration implementation for parsing ini files.
HierarchicalXMLConfiguration	Deprecated This class is deprecated.
INIConfiguration	Deprecated This class has been replaced by HierarchicalINIConfiguration, which provides a superset of the functionality offered by this class.
JNDIConfiguration	This Configuration class allows you to interface with a JNDI datasource.
MapConfiguration	A Map based Configuration.
MultiFileHierarchicalConfiguration	This class provides access to multiple configuration files that reside in a location that can be specified by a pattern allowing applications to be multi-tenant.
PatternSubtreeConfigurationWrapper	Wraps a HierarchicalConfiguration and allows subtrees to be access via a configured path with replaceable tokens derived from the ConfigurationInterpolator.
PropertiesConfiguration	This is the "classic" Properties loader which loads the values from a single or multiple files (which can be chained with "include =".
PropertiesConfiguration.PropertiesReader	This class is used to read properties lines.
PropertiesConfiguration.PropertiesWriter	This class is used to write properties lines.
PropertiesConfigurationLayout	A helper class used by PropertiesConfiguration to keep the layout of a properties file.
PropertyConverter	A utility class to convert the configuration properties into any type.
StrictConfigurationComparator	Strict comparator for configurations.
SubnodeConfiguration	A specialized hierarchical configuration class that wraps a single node of its parent configuration.
SubsetConfiguration	A subset of another configuration.
SystemConfiguration	A configuration based on the system properties.
XMLConfiguration	A specialized hierarchical configuration class that is able to parse XML documents.
XMLPropertiesConfiguration	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.
