JBOSS SystemPropertiesService cannot deal with escape character

[sala223]

JBOSS Version: 5.1.0GA

I added an attribute element  in deploy/properties-service.xml file as follows:

<attribute name="Properties">
    myconfigfile=${jboss.server.home.dir}/app/conf/test.conf
</attribute>

I started jboss on windows, the jboss.server.home.dir variable is correctly replace by c:\sala223\tool,

but the myconfigfile variable now becomes c:/sala223     ool/app/conf/test.conf which is not what I want, is there any solution to not escape the "\t" character?

Did you ever get any leads on this? I'm having a similar problem.

In my case, the backslashes are simply stripped out. If I installed JBoss 5.0.0 here:

  c:\svr\jboss-5.0.0.GA

and used the jboss.server.home.dir variable in properties-service.xml in this fashion:

  javax.net.ssl.keyStore=${jboss.server.home.dir}/conf/web-app-keystores/app-server.keystore

then JBoss told me that it couldn't find this file:

   c:svrjboss-5.0.0.GAserverdefault\conf\web-app-keystores\app-server.keystore

I've seen this behavior in v5.0.0, v5.0.1, and v5.1.0, despite the fact that https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBAS-3701 claims that this bug was fixed in v5.0.0 beta 1.

Please create a new JBAS JIRA if this is still a problem in JBoss AS 5.x and add the details. Please also point to this thread in that JIRA.
