[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-3195?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.s... ] Andrea Carboni commented on AS7-3195: ------------------------------------- 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.

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-3195?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.s... ] Brian Stansberry commented on AS7-3195: --------------------------------------- Oleg, I suggest you reply on the dev list to http://lists.jboss.org/pipermail/jboss-as7-dev/2011-December/004833.html before doing too much. As Jaikiran noted, this is a general issue and needs a general solution. The org.jboss.util.StringPropertyReplacer class in the old jboss-common-core lib has the routine previously used for pure system property replacement. That should be the basis for any AS7 equivalent. It could potentially be used as is if the dev list discussion leads to that decision. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

Everyone, if you run into problems with expansion of variables in persistence.xml, post a note to [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]. If you have ideas about code changes for AS7, join up on the jboss-as7-dev(a)lists.jboss.org mailing list to discuss.

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-3195?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.s... ] Mark Kempster commented on AS7-3195: ------------------------------------ Correction - I can specify an external properties file on startup with -P, but I'm looking for a hot way to do the same thing, without having to alter jboss's start script or restart a running jboss. Ideally, I'd like to be able, in a running as7 instance, to copy a .properties file into a managed directory, then deploy a .war that has variables in persistence.xml and have the persistence.xml variables expanded with properties defined in the file.

They will get stored in standalone.xml. But this JIRA is not the place for such discussions. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
