[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-3195) Expansion of variables in persistence.xml

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-3195?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.s... ] Mark Kempster commented on AS7-3195: ------------------------------------ My app was defining properties in an external .properties file, then loading them into system properties for later use. They seemeed to be available in time for expansion into persistence.xml with 7.0.2, but that behavior seems to be different for 7.1.1. Defining the property directly in standalone.xml seems to work, and make the values available for substitution during deployment. Properties were externalized so that deployables could ship with their config files in a 'hot' directory, and deployed to different as7 servers as needed. This let us define one hot directory in standalone.xml, and drop deployable .properties files there, instead of having to mangle standalone.xml for each deployable. For properties that need to be available when a deployable is being deployed, is standalone.xml the right place to put those? Is there an approved way to externalize those? The admin guide (https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS7/General+configuration+concepts) doesn't mention any alternatives. Thanks -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
