I added this SecurityManager suspend / resume and things get pass that write permission problem. But now I see that the ${x} string gets actually picked up by simple StringEditor, and not by 'replacing' Editor. I added this code check (in ValueConvertor): | if (clazz.isAssignableFrom(valueClass) && isPropertyReplaceValue(value) == false) | return value; | So that we even get to PropertyEditors.
