[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (JBWEB-74) tomcat config files fail to support default sysprop values like other jboss-service.xml type configs

tomcat config files fail to support default sysprop values like other jboss-service.xml type configs ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBWEB-74 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBWEB-74 Project: JBoss Web Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Core Reporter: John Mazzitelli Assignee: Remy Maucherat From my JBoss forum post and Dimitris' reply: In jboss-service.xml, you can define values via properties like this: ${my.prop:123} where the value will be 123 if and only if my.prop property is not explictly set. However, this syntax does not seem to work on JBossAS 4.0.5 within the jbossweb-tomcat55.sar's server.xml. If I use ${my.prop} in server.xml, it works fine. But if I define a default value like ${my.prop:123}, it doesn't work - the value becomes literally ${my.prop}. Dimitris Andreadis reply: "JBoss uses org.jboss.util.StringPropertyReplacer for substituting variables. Tomcat/jboss-web must be using a different way to do this, so this is really a feature request for jboss-web."
