Problem while using system property in variable

[nohwal]

Hi,

We were planning to upgrade to JBoss 3.2.7 from 3.2.6. With this, we have to upgrade to JBoss Cache 1.2 as well. Earlier in 3.2.6, my configuration xml file for TreeCache contained the following entry:

<attribute name="CacheLoaderConfig">${jboss.server.data.dir}/myCache</attribute>

This was working fine. However in 1.2, this property is no longer a String but rather now expects a Properties value "location". I found the following link:

http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=288672

This says we should do the following:

<attribute name="CacheLoaderConfig">
 location = ${jboss.server.data.dir}/myCache
</attribute>

But this creates problem now and I receive the error:

FileNotFoundException: c:JBoss3.2.7serverdefaultdata/myCache

As you can notice, the value of the variable "jboss.server.data.dir" is being received after its "/" getting truncated. I tried searching on the NET but of no use. If I provide a hard-coded path, it works fine. Can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Deepak.

This is a bug: I created a bug report in JIRA (JBAS)

Here's a comment/workaround Scott posted on the case:
A double replacement is occurring for a service attribute of type java.util.Properties. Once by the ServiceConfigurator, and again by the PropertyEditor. You can work around this issue by disabling the property replacement at the ServiceConfigurator level using replace=false:

 <attribute name="Properties" replace="false">
 location = ${jboss.server.data.dir}/myCache
 </attribute>

Thanks bela.

It worked fine with the workaround. Your help is greatly appreciated.
