That was a challenge i had... Unfortunately, it will be parsed at statement execution time as a string replacement, not at map build time with the passed in properties. It's an inconsistency... :-/ In Statements: #{} == Prepared Statement Parameter ${} == String replacement at execution time for statements
In Element Attributes: <node attr="${value}"> will be replaced at map build time, using the properties as values... To separate the concepts, we'd have to introduce another token, perhaps ${} == Replaced at map build time, using the properties as values (consistent with element/attribute) #{} == Prepared Statement Parameter @{} == String replacement at execution time for statements It might not be hard to change that, I think it's in one place in the code.
