I'm trying to understand the relationship between start.ini parameters and the
<Property> tag.
What I thought was the case (and this is backed up by the `start.jar --help`
text) is that any a=b lines in start.ini can be referred to from an XML config
file as <Property name="a" /> to use "b" in that value.
An example being jetty.http.port which can be set in start.ini and appears to
pass the value through in jetty-http.xml with:
<Set name="port"><Property name="jetty.http.port"
deprecated="jetty.port" default="8080" /></Set>
However, when trying to use the same in WebAppContext with resourceBase, I get
the default (not the ini value):
<Set name="resourceBase"><Property name="jetty.http.port"
deprecated="jetty.port" default="8080" />/path</Set>
Likewise, setting my.property=something in start.ini the following property is
replaced by the string "null" (or the default if one is added), instead of the
expected "something":
<Set name="resourceBase"><Property name="my.property" />/path</Set>
If I use -Dmy.property=something and switch from Property to SystemProperty tag
it works as expected.
If I use Property tag with name="jetty.base" it also resolves as expected.
The documentation at
https://www.eclipse.org/jetty/documentation/current/jetty-xml-usage.html says
that the Property tag is for .properties files, but doing `echo
"my.property=something" > myjetty.properties` and passing the file to start.jar
still ends up with null/default. (However, adding jetty.http.port to
myjetty.properties does change the port.)
So, can anyone explain what I'm missing?
