thanks for your reply, jaikiran. "jaikiran" wrote : | Is jboss.protocol.http.ejb2 the system property that you are trying to pass? Then the xml should look like: | <attribute name="InvokerLocator">${jboss.protocol.http.ejb2}</attribute> | ok, this is a start. but your notation seems to be equal to ${jboss.bind.address}, hence it is about a system property of the server, i guess. well, i wonder if i can set a system property which will be resolved in the client only. my problem is that the server does not know where the clients have to connect to. that is why i want the client to set the actual value. is this possible (yet)?
