I have two instances of JBoss running on my machine (for replication testing), and it'd be great if I could use the exact same configuration for both. I would like to move the differences (port settings, directory references, etc.) into a properties file which is read into system properties, and then reference these settings using the ${someproperty} syntax that log4j uses.
Is this possible today, or is this something that can be added? It would make it SOOO much easier to do installs where only a small subset of the total configuration needs to be changed per-installation.
Use the binding manager service. ${...} format only works with SARs.
