Property expansion doesn't work in datasource connection-url on 7.1.0.CR1

[stianst]

In AS 7.0.2.Final I could specify the connection-url of a datasource as:

<connection-url>jdbc:derby:${jboss.server.data.dir}/mydb;create=true</connection-url>

This would result in the Derby DB created under <JBOSS HOME>/standalone/data/mydb. However, in 7.1.0.CR1 this doesn't work anymore and the database is saved in <WORKING DIR>/${jboss.server.data.dir}/mydb.

Is there another way to make sure my Derby db is saved in the correct folder? Is this caused by a bug, or is it intentionally not supported anymore?

I've tried to set derby.system.home as a system property in standalone.xml, but property expansion doesn't work there either.

Adding the following to standalone.xml results in derby.system.home=${jboss.home.dir}, not the value of jboss.home.dir:

    <system-properties>

        <property name="derby.system.home" value="${jboss.home.dir}"/>

    </system-properties>
