Hello All,

I'm using Apache 1.3.12 on RedHat 6.2, with jserv 1.1.2 and java 1.2.2. 
I need to be able to access a system environment variable from within a
java servlet.  Since the getenv() method is deprecated in Java 2, I
decided to pass it in as a property.  The problem is that I can't figure
out the magical incarnation to pass the *value* on the variable, and not
simply the *name*.

In my jserv.properties, I set the 'wrapper.bin.parameters' line to:

wrapper.bin.properties=-Ddazel.dazelns=$DAZELNS

but when I call getProperty() in the servlet, I get the value "$DAZELNS"
instead of what I expect (the value of $DAZELNS).  Obviously, it's not
expanding the value of the environment variable.  So, any suggestions? 
I can use the deprecated getenv() method, but I'd prefer not to if
possible.

I read the FAQ (at least, the old, working version of the FAQ), and was
unable to find a solution.

Thanks,
- Bill

P.S.  I've never seen the 'new, improved' FAQ working, so I just
referred to the old FAQ, which does not seem to cover jserv 1.1
specifically.
