I've inherited a webapp which includes a system property reference (ie.,
"region") in its web.xml (BTW, this context-param is used to lookup a
Spring context file---e.g. /WEB-INF/jmsContext-eur.xml)
<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>
/WEB-INF/jmsContext-${region}.xml,
</param-value>
</context-param>
When I deploy this webapp to Tomcat 5.5.12, and define a command-line
system property with '-Dregion=eur' in catalina.sh, it works fine: the
jmsContext-eur.xml file is found.
However, when I try to deploy this webapp to Websphere 6.0.x, even after
defining a custom property for 'region' in the server profile, I get a:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /WEB-INF/jmsContext-${region}.xml,
when the server starts.
While my immediate problem is how to deploy the webapp to Websphere, my
question to this group is this: Which component is responsible for this
behaviour (the parsing of the web deployment descriptor and the
substitution of the system property)? Is it expected J2EE 1.4
behaviour---ie., something I can complain to IBM about?
Thanks,
Martin
