System property substitution in config file parsing
---------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBCACHE-1218
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBCACHE-1218
             Project: JBoss Cache
          Issue Type: Feature Request
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
            Reporter: Brian Stansberry
         Assigned To: Manik Surtani


Since JBC parses its own config files it would be nice to support the ${some.system.property:somedefault} syntax.  This should be trivial to do; just add callouts to org.jboss.util.StringPropertyReplacer.replaceProperties(String) in XmlHelper.getAttributeValue() and XmlHelper.getElementContent().

This could even be helpful in JBoss AS if XmlParsingConfigurationRegistry is used -- the normal AS parsing wouldn't be used in that case.  But, it would be simple enough though for me to write a different ConfigurationRegistry that had its config injected from MC beans rather than parsing the XML itself.

Manik, I left this assigned to you to give you a shot at making any inputs.  If you think its worthwhile, feel free to assign back to me.
