I tried, but getting this error from XML parser. Environment Windows 7, JBoss 5.1, EJB3 My Change in persistence.xml <properties>           <property name="server.nodes" value=${server.host.list}/> </properties> run.bat change set "JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dorg.jboss.resolver.warning=true -Dserver.host.list=app1,app2,app12" Error org.jboss.xb.binding.JBossXBException: Failed to parse source: Open quote is expected for attribute "value" associated with an  element type  "property". Is this possible (parameterize the properties in persistence.xml). Thanks. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/732272#732272] Start a new discussion in EJB3 at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
