Jörg,
Confusingly enough, ${webapp} is a property that's used when resolving the
paths to the magnolia.properties files (i.e when "parsing" the string
containing the list of said files in web.xml); the corresponding variable you
can use in properties files is ${magnolia.webapp}. This corresponds to the name
of the folder into which Magnolia is deployed (typically "magnoliaAuthor" on
Tomcat). Similarly, ${servername} will correspond to ${magnolia.servername},
and you also have ${magnolia.app.rootdir} which is the full path to the
deployed app. In 5.0, you'll also have ${magnolia.contextpath}
If you get a chance though, could you plug your debugger into
info.magnolia.cms.servlets.MgnlServletContextListener#initWebappName and
info.magnolia.cms.beans.config.PropertiesInitializer#parseStringValue, because
afaik, unknown properties (which should be the case for ${webapp} iirc) should
not be substituted, and "webapp" should never be empty anyway... ? Just curious.
Cheers,
