>From my JBoss forum post and Dimitris' reply:

In jboss-service.xml, you can define values via properties like this:

${my.prop:123}

where the value will be 123 if and only if my.prop property is not explictly set.

However, this syntax does not seem to work on JBossAS 4.0.5 within the jbossweb-tomcat55.sar's server.xml.

If I use ${my.prop} in server.xml, it works fine. But if I define a default value like ${my.prop:123}, it doesn't work - the value becomes literally ${my.prop}.

Dimitris Andreadis reply: "JBoss uses org.jboss.util.StringPropertyReplacer for substituting variables. Tomcat/jboss-web must be using a different way to do this, so this is really a feature request for jboss-web."
