All Implemented Interfaces:

```
public class CmsParameterConfiguration
extends java.util.AbstractMap<java.lang.String,java.lang.String>
```
Provides convenient access to configuration parameters.
Usually the parameters are configured in some sort of String based file, either in an XML configuration, or in a .property file. This wrapper allows accessing such String values directly as int, boolean or other data types, without worrying about the type conversion.
It can also read a configuration from a special property file format, which is explained here:
- Each parameter in the file has the syntax key = value
- The key may use any character but the equal sign '='.
- value may be separated on different lines if a backslash is placed at the end of the line that continues below.
- If value is a list of strings, each token is separated by a comma ','.
- Commas in each token are escaped placing a backslash right before the comma.
- Backslashes are escaped by using two consecutive backslashes i.e. \\. Note: Unlike in regular Java properties files, you don't need to escape Backslashes.
- If a key is used more than once, the values are appended as if they were on the same line separated with commas.
- Blank lines and lines starting with character '#' are skipped.
Here is an example of a valid parameter properties file:
```
      # lines starting with # are comments

      # This is the simplest property
      key = value

      # A long property may be separated on multiple lines
      longvalue = aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa \
                  aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

      # This is a property with many tokens
      tokens_on_a_line = first token, second token

      # This sequence generates exactly the same result
      tokens_on_multiple_lines = first token
      tokens_on_multiple_lines = second token

      # commas may be escaped in tokens
      commas.escaped = Hi\, what'up?
 
```

    Creates a new Properties object from the existing configuration extracting all key-value pars whose key are prefixed with keyPrefix.
    For this example config:
```

      db.pool.default.jdbcDriver=net.bull.javamelody.JdbcDriver
      db.pool.default.connectionProperties.driver=org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver
 
```
    getPrefixedProperties("db.pool.default.connectionProperties") will return a Properties object with one single entry:
```
      key:"driver", value:"org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver"
