Thanks for the replies,
I solved this a while ago using, as mentioned, a combination of
propertyset, loading property file with prefix and a glob mapper
<property name="extra.properties.prefix" value="APPSPECIFIC" /> <!--
the prefix -->
<property file="${EXSET.extra.properties.file.name}"
prefix="${app.specific.properties.prefix}" />
<propertyset id="app.specific.sysproperties">
<propertyref prefix="${extra.properties.prefix}" />
<mapper type="glob" from="${extra.properties.prefix}*" to="*" />
</propertyset>
<!-- in the Java target -->
<syspropertyset refid="app.specific.sysproperties" />
Not as clean as I would like, still think it might be nice to be able to
have <sysproperty file="file.properties"/> include all props in
file.properties as Java properties...
Thanks,
Laurie

Have you looked into <propertyset>? --DD
