The above quote is not applicable. Upon second reading of that passage, you're right: though catalina.properties is mentioned, it's (somewhat) clear than it can be used to /define/ properties, but does not enjoy the system-property-replacements used in those other files. It makes sense, given that otherwise there would be a terrible circular logic problem when reading catalina.properties. I suppose, eventually, you'd either evaluate all system properties or detect a loop and could bail-out. If this seems like something the community would like, I wouldn't mind writing a patch to allow this type of thing. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk3KlswACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PCt6gCfcVCUB9mqcPe61sWY+MQAVzUy sXUAoK8WOU4w9R7lu8+FE0jaJw/sbkC0 =QET0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
