RE: [JBoss-dev] FW: Variable expansion when parsing XML config files

[Scott M Stark]

The org.jboss.util.propertyeditor.PropertiesEditor which is what should be used for an attribute of type java.util.Properties does replace ${x} property references in values. The problem is that calling setProperty with the replacement value is not using an escaped string and so the win32 backslash is seen as a char escape sequence. Create a jira issue for this.

Looks like a bug in the properties impl ? -- Bela Ban Lead JGroups / JBossCache callto://belaban
