Alexander Klimetschek commented on JCR-1304:
--------------------------------------------
I just found nothing using Text.replaceVariables apart from the config files ;-)
Is RepositoryConfig.create ok? AFAIU it parses repository.xml. What about a
workspace.xml of an exisiting workspace? Will it still contain the variables or
are they replaced by their values when the workspace.xml is created?

> Key: JCR-1304
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-1304
> Project: Jackrabbit
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: config, jackrabbit-jcr-commons
> Affects Versions: 1.3.3, 1.4, 1.5
> Reporter: Alexander Klimetschek

> The variable replacement (${...}) in config files like repository.xml
> currently only allows for the special variables introduced by Jackrabbit, eg.
> ${wsp.name} or ${rep.home}. But it would be useful to support all java system
> properties here as it is some kind of a standard in Java XML config files
> (see Spring for an example).
> This makes it easier to inject variables from outside the config file, eg. by
> setting them on the command line or injecting them programmatically in test
> cases. Typical parameters for that include database connection credentials,
> which one wants to avoid to put into repository.xml files that are often
> checked into SVN.
> This is especially true for test cases, eg. I currently work on a persistence
> manager component and I want to include the repository.xml in the source tree
> (under applications/test) but without my specific credentials. These are
> applied by loading a user-specific properties file through the test case
> before the repository is started and the config is read.
