That is a terrible idea if this is a long-lived project.  What happens 
when they want to support yml too? Or json? Or something else.  Then 
your Configuration class has so many responsibilities that it is a mess...

If you need to write the data to a file, I would have an interface 
"ConfigurationWriter" with the "XmlConfigurationWriter" implementation.

I would have a separate interface "ConfigurationReader" with the 
"XmlConfigurationReader" implementation.


I would also suggest that the interfaces don't know about a specific 
file, but have an argument passed to the load/save method which is the 
stream to read from/write to.  (For example, InputStream/OutputStream in 
Java)

Hope this helps,
Daniel.
