[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFCORE-179?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin... ] Brian Stansberry commented on WFCORE-179: ----------------------------------------- Quick notes on this: org.jboss.as.controller.ExpressionResolverImpl handles the expressions in the management API. It already has repeated resolution thing going on to allow e.g. $[system.property.foo} to turn into ${VAULT:xxx:yyy} which ends up as "bar". (That can already support the use case in the description, just by having system property "me" include a full vault expression instead of just a single attribute.) For deployment descriptors and annotations, org.jboss.metadata.property.CompositePropertyResolver is what is currently used. It doesn't do a recursive thing; it loops through other PropertyResolver impls (e.g. one for system props, one for props packaged in the deployment, one for vault) until if finds one that resolves. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.1#6329)
