Access jboss directory path entry in switchyard.xml

[divyaigal]

Hi,

I wasn't sure, if this question was asked earlier, apologies if it was, but i couldn't find anything similar.

I am using Switchyard 0.4 and want to access the Jboss Server directiry path in Switchyard.xml.

What entry should I make ?

Directly giving the absolute path, or even the relative jboss path doesn't work.

For relative path, I have tried with ${jboss.server.data.dir} and jboss.server.data.dir as well, but doesn't work.

System property configuration value substitution wasn't fully supported until version 0.8, per jira SWITCHYARD-1268.  However, if you are going to upgrade (as you should; 0.4 is very old), I would suggest moving to 1.0.0.Final, which is available now.  You can find it ont he Downloads page, and information about property replacement on the Properties documentation page.  The correct form would be using the "dollar curlies" method, i.e.: <property name="dataDir" value="${jboss.server.data.dir}"/>

Hi David,

Thanks for your reply.

We are thinking of moving to Switchyard 1.0 ultimately, but not right now.

It will take a lot of effort for us to move to a higher version currently.

Is there any other alternative that this can be done, using 0.4 ?

Sorry, no. You could have a script (or use ant or maven) to filter your switchyard.xml file before deployment, but that's not the same as runtime property replacement
