All Implemented Interfaces:

Configuration, ConfigurationErrorListener, ConfigurationListener, FileConfiguration, FileSystemBased, Reloadable, EntityResolverSupport
```
public class MultiFileHierarchicalConfiguration
extends AbstractHierarchicalFileConfiguration
implements ConfigurationListener, ConfigurationErrorListener, EntityResolverSupport
```
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. For example, providing a pattern of "file:///opt/config/${product}/${client}/config.xml" will result in "product" and "client" being resolved on every call. The configuration resulting from the resolved pattern will be saved for future access.

    Description copied from class: AbstractConfiguration
    
    Get an array of strings associated with the given configuration key. If the key doesn't map to an existing object, an empty array is returned. If a property is added to a configuration, it is checked whether it contains multiple values. This is obvious if the added object is a list or an array. For strings it is checked whether the string contains the list delimiter character that can be specified using the setListDelimiter() method. If this is the case, the string is split at these positions resulting in a property with multiple values.

    key - the key of the property to set
    
    value - the new value of this property
  - subset
```
public Configuration subset(java.lang.String prefix)
```
    Description copied from class: HierarchicalConfiguration
    
    Creates a new Configuration object containing all keys that start with the specified prefix. This implementation will return a HierarchicalConfiguration object so that the structure of the keys will be saved. The nodes selected by the prefix (it is possible that multiple nodes are selected) are mapped to the root node of the returned configuration, i.e. their children and attributes will become children and attributes of the new root node. However a value of the root node is only set if exactly one of the selected nodes contain a value (if multiple nodes have a value, there is simply no way to decide how these values are merged together). Note that the returned Configuration object is not connected to its source configuration: updates on the source configuration are not reflected in the subset and vice versa.
    
    Specified by:
    
    subset in interface Configuration
    
    Overrides:
    
    subset in class HierarchicalConfiguration
    
    Parameters:

  - addNodes
```
public void addNodes(java.lang.String key,
                     java.util.Collection<? extends ConfigurationNode> nodes)
```
    Description copied from class: AbstractHierarchicalFileConfiguration
    
    Directly adds sub nodes to this configuration. This implementation checks whether auto save is necessary after executing the operation.
    
    Overrides:
    
    addNodes in class AbstractHierarchicalFileConfiguration
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - the key where the nodes are to be added
    
    nodes - a collection with the nodes to be added
  - configurationAt
```
public SubnodeConfiguration configurationAt(java.lang.String key,
                                            boolean supportUpdates)
```
    Description copied from class: HierarchicalConfiguration
    
    Returns a hierarchical subnode configuration object that wraps the configuration node specified by the given key. This method provides an easy means of accessing sub trees of a hierarchical configuration. In the returned configuration the sub tree can directly be accessed, it becomes the root node of this configuration. Because of this the passed in key must select exactly one configuration node; otherwise an IllegalArgumentException will be thrown.
    
    The difference between this method and the HierarchicalConfiguration.subset(String) method is that subset() supports arbitrary subsets of configuration nodes while configurationAt() only returns a single sub tree. Please refer to the documentation of the SubnodeConfiguration class to obtain further information about subnode configurations and when they should be used.
    
    With the supportUpdate flag the behavior of the returned SubnodeConfiguration regarding updates of its parent configuration can be determined. A subnode configuration operates on the 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.
    
    Overrides:
    
    configurationAt in class HierarchicalConfiguration
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - the key that selects the sub tree
    
    supportUpdates - a flag whether the returned subnode configuration should be able to handle updates of its parent
    
    Returns:
    
    a hierarchical configuration that contains this sub tree

```
public SubnodeConfiguration configurationAt(java.lang.String key)
```
    Description copied from class: HierarchicalConfiguration
    
    Returns a hierarchical subnode configuration for the node specified by the given key. This is a short form for configurationAt(key, <b>false</b>).
    
    Overrides:
    
    configurationAt in class HierarchicalConfiguration
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - the key that selects the sub tree

    SubnodeConfiguration
  - configurationsAt
```
public java.util.List<HierarchicalConfiguration> configurationsAt(java.lang.String key)
```
    Description copied from class: HierarchicalConfiguration
    Returns a list of sub configurations for all configuration nodes selected by the given key. This method will evaluate the passed in key (using the current ExpressionEngine) and then create a subnode configuration for each returned node (like HierarchicalConfiguration.configurationAt(String)}). This is especially useful when dealing with list-like structures. As an example consider the configuration that contains data about database tables and their fields. If you need access to all fields of a certain table, you can simply do
```
 List fields = config.configurationsAt("tables.table(0).fields.field");
 for(Iterator it = fields.iterator(); it.hasNext();)
 {
     HierarchicalConfiguration sub = (HierarchicalConfiguration) it.next();
     // now the children and attributes of the field node can be
     // directly accessed
     String fieldName = sub.getString("name");
     String fieldType = sub.getString("type");
     ...
 
```
    Overrides:
    
    configurationsAt in class HierarchicalConfiguration
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - the key for selecting the desired nodes

  - clearTree
```
public void clearTree(java.lang.String key)
```
    Description copied from class: HierarchicalConfiguration
    
    Removes all values of the property with the given name and of keys that start with this name. So if there is a property with the key "foo" and a property with the key "foo.bar", a call of clearTree("foo") would remove both properties.
    
    Overrides:
    
    clearTree in class AbstractHierarchicalFileConfiguration
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - the key of the property to be removed
  - getMaxIndex
```
public int getMaxIndex(java.lang.String key)
```
    Description copied from class: HierarchicalConfiguration
    
    Returns the maximum defined index for the given key. This is useful if there are multiple values for this key. They can then be addressed separately by specifying indices from 0 to the return value of this method.
    
    Overrides:
    
    getMaxIndex in class HierarchicalConfiguration
    
    Parameters:
    
    key - the key to be checked
    
    Returns:
    
    the maximum defined index for this key
  - interpolatedConfiguration

    Overrides:
    
    interpolatedConfiguration in class HierarchicalConfiguration
    
    Returns:
    
    a configuration with all variables interpolated
