Brian Stansberry commented on AS7-4109:
---------------------------------------

Thanks, Ed.

Support for ${x.y} properties in deployment descriptors is a separate issue from this one. I know there are a couple JIRAs related to it -- if you don't see one for the descriptor you are interested in, please file a JIRA for that!

The AS supports ${x.y} properties for many elements in the domain.xml/host.xml/standalone.xml config files. Basically ones where there is a clear use case. However, I'm sure there are other elements/attributes where people would like to see support. This JIRA is for a specific one of those.

> The following standalone.xml entry:
> {code:xml}
> <server>
> ...
>     <system-properties>
>         <property name="test.acme.conf.dir" value="${jboss.server.config.dir}/acme"/>
>         <property name="test.acme.data.dir" value="${env.PWD}/../standalone/data/acme"/>
>         <property name="test.acme.db.dir" value="${test.acme.data.dir}/db"/>
>     </system-properties>
> ...
> </server>
> {code}
> produces the following system properties:
> test.acme.conf.dir=${jboss.server.config.dir}/acme
> test.acme.data.dir=${env.PWD}../standalone/data/acme
> test.acme.db.dir=${test.acme.data.dir}/db
> I would expect property references to be resolved - i.e.:
> test.acme.conf.dir=/opt/jboss-as-7.1.0.Final/standalone/configuration/acme
> test.acme.data.dir=/opt/jboss-as-7.1.0.Final/bin/../standalone/data/acme
> test.acme.db.dir=/opt/jboss-as-7.1.0.Final/bin/../standalone/data/acme/db
