The URIBuilder needs to be cloned first. State of the parent target should not be affected.

WebTarget2 gets a snapshot of the WebTarget1's configuration, what happens when a property such as "target1" gets removed on WebTarget2's Configuration - is it just removed (no side-effect I guess for WebTarget1) or should it be IllegalStateException ?
The change in the child component config must not have any side effects on the parent component config. Once the child component is created, the child configuration is copied and decoupled from the parent (effectively, implementations may of course optimize this).
