Yes.
And if yes, is this Tomcat-specific, or servlet-engine-generic ?
Tomcat specific.
Any xml configuration file processed by the digester (server.xml, global
and application context.xml, global and application web,xml) can use ant
style property replacement.
Use ${myproperty} in the xml file and in
$CATALINA_BASE/conf/catalina.properties use:
myproperty=realvalue
There are some restrictions on exactly how you can use this. It
certainly works for attribute values, it may work for
<value>${...}</value> as well - I haven't tested it or checked the code
to see exactrly how it works.
Thanks, Mark.
I will test that.
If this works, then I think that it would be an answer in line with what
the original OP was looking for, and me too.
