http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13634 Allowing system properties to be substituted in config-file Summary: Allowing system properties to be substituted in config- file Product: Tomcat 4 Version: Unknown Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Catalina AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I think that a really useful feature would be to enhance the config-file (server.xml) with the option to subsitute System-properties for attributes in the file. An example syntax would be: <Logger path="${my.log.root.path}/trace" .. > which would extract the System.getProperty("my.log.root.path") and subsitute for the value in the attribute. This would make it possible to modify the behavior of a catalina instance by passing additional commandline parameters, (mainly for path type attributes). We're packaging tomcat as a part of our product and since the paths in the config-file are now absolut or relative to the CATALINA_BASE we have to make some config-file substiututions to allow our product to be installed in a user- choosen location. I believe having this feature would greatly enhance the packagability of Tomcat. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
