Property Substitution in web.xml

[hwellmann.de]

Does WildFly support property substitution in web.xml?

With this snippet in web.xml

	<context-param>
	<param-name>javax.faces.PROJECT_STAGE</param-name>
	<param-value>${jsf.project.stage:Production}</param-value>
	</context-param>

and setting the corresponding system property when launching WildFly:

    -Djsf.project.stage=Development

all I'm getting is the following log message

2014-02-09 10:25:02,721 INFO  [javax.enterprise.resource.webcontainer.jsf.config] (MSC service thread 1-8) Unable to discern ProjectStage for value ${jsf.project.stage:Production}.

Am I missing anything, or is this feature not (yet) working in 8.0.0.CR1?

Best regards,

Harald

You need to enable that.

in ee subsystem set spec-descriptor-property-replacement to true

<spec-descriptor-property-replacement>true</spec-descriptor-property-replacement>

Thanks, that did it. Would be good to add a hint to the user guide, or to the jboss-as-ee_2_0.xsd documentation - it's not quite obviuos which descriptor files are affected by which settings.
