Rob Walker commented on LANG-482:
---------------------------------
Cool - I just need to make time to fix the tests Oliver reported as not
working. The code in the patch does work for "basic" use cases though, so feel
free to try it. Will hopefully get around to looking at a better version
sometime this week.
> Enhance StrSubstitutor to support nested ${var-${subvr}} expansion

> Key: LANG-482

> t would be really handy of StrSubstitutor could support nested variable
> interpolation:
> org.osgi.framework.system.packages=org.osgi.framework; version=1.4.0, \
> org.osgi.service.packageadmin; version=1.2.0, \
> org.osgi.service.startlevel; version=1.1.0, \
> org.osgi.service.url; version=1.0.0, \
> org.osgi.util.tracker; version=1.3.3 \
> ${jre-${java.specification.version}}
> The process being to expand innermost variable references first and work
> outwards - this allows for very advance config, such as the above, which can
> dynamically detect the Java version and expand a JRE version specific
> property into the property being defined.
> Looking at the implementation, it seems it might be a fairly straightforward
> enhancement to:
> private int substitute(StrBuilder buf, int offset, int length, List
> priorVariables)
> The code already has the cyclic map in place.
> I already have code that achieves this within Apache Felix, so I will see if
> I can retro-fit a similar model to the above and if so submit a patch.
