System Property is not resolved in standalone.xml

[alvar_hanso]

I am setting a system property in standalone.xml:

<property name="security.login.module"

value="ch.abraxas.base.jboss.LDAPLoginModule"/>

I try to use it like this:

<login-module code="${security.login.module}" flag="required">

But when I log into the application I get this error:

ERROR [org.jboss.security.authentication.JBossCachedAuthenticationManager] (http--127.0.0.1-9090-1) Login failure: javax.security.auth.login.LoginException: Die Anmeldemodulklasse kann nicht gefunden werden: ${security.login.module} from [Module "deployment.base-test-ear.ear.base-csm-impl-web-1.0.1-SNAPSHOT.war:main" from Service Module Loader]

It seems that the system property is not resolved. But in the JBoss web administration console I can see this system property and its value.

As it seams, JBoss AS 7 treats it not as a boot time property according to the schema file jboss-as-config_1_0.xsd for the <server> node. But I want to use it in the stanalone mode and then I think I can only be in the <server> node.

I now tried it with domain mode, so that the system properties are boot time properties. It did not change anything with the problem.

What is wrong?

I am migrating my application from jboss 6 to 7 and I would to use some custom system properties in the standalone.xml for logging and datasource configuration but jboss doesn't resolve them.

I think that Jboss resolves system properties only in some sections of standalone.xml (for example it resolves ${jboss.binding.address} or {jboss.socket.binding.port-offset} in socket and webservice sections).

I have the same problem in JPA persistence.xml inside a jar: i would to point to a different orm file so i can use my application with different dbms (oracle or mysql). In jboss 6 i used this:

<mapping-file>/META-INF/${db.type}/orm.xml</mapping-file>

but jboss 7 doesnt resolve db.type.

However jboss 7 can resolve the following tag in the same file:

<property name="hibernate.dialect"   value="${db.dialect}" />
