[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-6431) Incorrectly evaluated expression when property is defined after the expression in xml

[Brian Stansberry (JIRA)]

     [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-6431?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Brian Stansberry resolved AS7-6431.
-----------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix


This is not a bug, it's a request for an enhancement. It's reasonable to define one property before attempting to use it, and the ordering in the xml reflects the order of operations.

I'm resolving this as Won't Fix because even trying to support this would result in pretty major code changes. And then it still wouldn't work unless both properties were added in a composite/batch operation.

> There is problem in evaluation of expression in case that property for evaluation is defined after the expression.
> In case of using DMR the order of property and expression definition is not taken in consideration and substitution works fine.
> When you define system properties in xml like:
> {code}
>     <system-properties>
>         <property name="qa.test.property" value="${qa.test.exp:defaultValue}"/>
>         <property name="qa.test.exp" value="expression.value"/>
>     </system-properties>
> {code}
> you start the container and then you can check the expression evaluation in jboss-cli.sh with command:
> {code}
> :resolve-expression(expression="${qa.test.property}")
> {code}
> The expression will be evaluated as "defaultValue" what is not correct because the "qa.test.exp" is defined.
> When you switch definitions of properties (switch <property> tags) then the expression will be evaluated correctly (as "expression.value).
