Just use the config.getRootNode() and then node.getChildren("entry")

XMLConfiguration config = new XMLConfiguration("_config.xml");
Map configMap = new HashMap();
ConfigurationNode node = config.getRootNode();
for (ConfigurationNode c : node.getChildren("entry"))
{
    String key = (String)c.getAttribute(0).getValue();
    String value = (String)c.getValue();
    configMap.put(key, value);
}

Then you can just do:

System.out.println(configMap.get("favoriteSeason")); // prints: summer
