Avoid resolving environment variables durung the build

[anikulin]

Hi,

I'm using environment variables in switchyard.xml file (for example, ${env.TEST_URL}) and the problem is that these variables are resolved during the Maven build. Compiled switchyard.xml has concrete value of this variable that is set on my local. But I want to avoid such behaviour and desire the variables to leave as variables and be resolved at the deployment time.

Is it possible to do this?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, Anton

Hi Anton,

Set filter=false on your resources plugin so they don't get resolved. Unless you need to resolve some properties for other resources this is a fine solution. If you need to filter resources, try avoiding filtering only for that resource, more configuration, but should also work.

The truth is that maven, switchyard, and many other tools, use same ways to define properties, so avoid resolving where shouldn't been resolved, and this time, this is maven.

See here: https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-resources-plugin/examples/filter.html

Thanks for help, Jorge. I disabled filtering and it started working as expected.
