Re: Filterchain's LineContains on LoadProperties is blocking the reading of properties

Hi Anuerin,

Ifthere are more than one"contains" elements of the "linecontains", then 
as noted in the documentation[1]"and" will be used toevaluate whether 
the line contains those strings. So in the exampleyou pasted, the 
properties file will be looked for lines containing ws.user AND 
ws.password AND wl.user AND wl.password, which obviously won't be 
satisfied for the sample.properties.
