Hey,
I think it would be
nice to be able to access system properties within jboss.jcml or any other MBean
XML descriptor. I think this would greatly help the
net-boot(--net-install) feature of JBoss 3.0. For example, Jetty is
packaged in a .sar in JBoss 3.0. In that sar is the MBean XML descriptor
that has a hardcoded path to Jetty's configuration file 'jetty.xml'. Since
it is hardcoded this sar file cannot be deployed from a net installation of
jboss. Instead of putting the url "../conf/default/jetty.xml" as the path to
jetty's configuration, I think something like
"${INSTALL_PATH}/conf/${CONFIG_DIR}/jetty.xml" would make things more
flexible. JBoss would set up the INSTALL_PATH and CONFIG_DIR on startup as
System Properties. Am I making any sense?
Bill
