/**
* A specialized configuration class that extends its base class by the
* ability of keeping more structure in the stored properties.
There
* are some sources of configuration data that cannot be stored very well in a
* BaseConfiguration object because then their structure is lost.
* This is especially true for XML documents. This class can deal with such
* structured configuration sources by storing the properties in a tree-like
* organization.
The internal used storage form allows for a more
* sophisticated access to single properties. As an example consider the
* following XML document:
*
*
* <database>
* <tables>
* <table>
* <name>users</name>
* <fields>
* <field>
* <name>lid</name>
* <type>long</name>
* </field>
* <field>
* <name>usrName</name>
* <type>java.lang.String</type>
* </field>
* ...
* </fields>
* </table>
* <table>
* <name>documents</name>
* <fields>
* <field>
* <name>docid</name>
* <type>long</type>
* </field>
* ...
* </fields>
* </table>
* ...
* </tables>
* </database>
*
*
* If this document is parsed and stored in a
* HierarchicalConfiguration object (which can be done by one of
* the sub classes), there are enhanced possibilities of accessing properties.
* The keys for querying information can contain indices that select a certain
* element if there are multiple hits.
For instance the key
* tables.table(0).name can be used to find out the name of the
* first table. In opposite tables.table.name would return a
* collection with the names of all available tables. Similarly the key
* tables.table(1).fields.field.name returns a collection with
* the names of all fields of the second table. If another index is added after
* the field element, a single field can be accessed:
* tables.table(1).fields.field(0).name.
There is a
* getMaxIndex() method that returns the maximum allowed index
* that can be added to a given property key. This method can be used to iterate
* over all values defined for a certain property.
* Since the 1.3 release of Commons Configuration hierarchical
* configurations support an expression engine. This expression engine
* is responsible for evaluating the passed in configuration keys and map them
* to the stored properties. The examples above are valid for the default
* expression engine, which is used when a new HierarchicalConfiguration
* instance is created. With the setExpressionEngine() method a
* different expression engine can be set. For instance with
* {@link org.apache.commons.configuration.tree.xpath.XPathExpressionEngine}
* there is an expression engine available that supports configuration keys in
* XPATH syntax.
* In addition to the events common for all configuration classes hierarchical
* configurations support some more events that correspond to some specific
* methods and features:
*
- EVENT_ADD_NODES
- The
addNodes() method
* was called; the event object contains the key, to which the nodes were added,
* and a collection with the new nodes as value.
* - EVENT_CLEAR_TREE
- The
clearTree() method was
* called; the event object stores the key of the removed sub tree.
* - EVENT_SUBNODE_CHANGED
- A
SubnodeConfiguration
* that was created from this configuration has been changed. The value property
* of the event object contains the original event object as it was sent by the
* subnode configuration.
* 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.

* must select exactly one configuration node; otherwise an

* same nodes as its parent, so changes at one configuration are normally
* directly visible for the other configuration. There are however changes
* of the parent configuration, which are not recognized by the subnode
* configuration per default. An example for this is a reload operation (for
* file-based configurations): Here the complete node set of the parent
* configuration is replaced, but the subnode configuration still references
* the old nodes. If such changes should be detected by the subnode
* configuration, the supportUpdates flag must be set to
* true. This causes the subnode configuration to reevaluate the key
* used for its creation each time it is accessed. This guarantees that the
* subnode configuration always stays in sync with its key, even if the
* parent configuration's data significantly changes. If such a change
* makes the key invalid - because it now no longer points to exactly one
* node -, the subnode configuration is not reconstructed, but keeps its
* old data. It is then quasi detached from its parent.
