[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBMETA-361?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin... ] Brad Maxwell commented on JBMETA-361: ------------------------------------- Updating PropertyTest.ear, it doesn't actually work for the war either. add this to web.xml of PropertyTest.war <env-entry> <env-entry-name>test</env-entry-name> <env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type> <env-entry-value>${sysProp:'web-test'}</env-entry-value> </env-entry> Add this to the index.jsp: <%=new InitialContext().lookup("java:comp/env/test") %><br/> The result is the same as the lookup for java:app/env/test, which is that no property substitution occurred. So I think the issue is different, the issue seems to be property substitution is not occurring on env-entry in application.xml, web.xml and probably other xmls.
