part deux: tomcat server.xml not supporting custom default p

[mazz]

something whacked out my last posts on this... I'm resubmitted as a new thread.

I did a search on this and couldn't find anything on it.

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

${my.prop:123}

where the value will be 123 iff 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}.

Wondering if its just me or if its a known issue.

I would like to bump this, please. Is this a known issue?

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.
