[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... ] Andrea Carboni edited comment on AS7-3195 at 1/16/12 1:21 PM: -------------------------------------------------------------- It is very annoying that a feature present in 5.x and 6.x is considered fixable by the community. We made our product with AS6 using property substitution both on persistence and on datasource xml files. For example, on persistence.xml this allows us to have only one EAR that can switch to oracle or mysql at execution time. On the datasource side, property substitution allows us to implement a special authentication mechanism. Now we have serious problems migrating to AS7, considering that AS6 is not supported. Furthermore, it seems that the path is already available. Cheers, Andrea was (Author: acarboni): It is very annoying that a feature present in 5.x and 6.x is considered fixable by the community.
