Re: dynamic property access
Thanks Alex - that works! However, I've realized I don't really need to do
this. If anyone cares, here's my resolution that lets me add tokens to
property files dynamically w/out requiring a change in my maven.xml. Nothing
special here - I just think it's pretty neat.
.${env}
${prop.key.substring(0, prop.key.indexOf(envDir))}
environment.properties
--
server.name.qa=myQABox
server.name.prod=myProdBox
server.port=80
Some properties file to be filtered
---

now I can run:
maven -Denv=qa|prod someGoal

Obviously the below code won't work, but you get the idea. I thought
maybe that the tag might help, but it doesn't seem to do
anything.
${${colorKey}}
Any ideas?
Maybe if I'm right hehe - try this and if it makes things work:
or rather this would return "red":
${context.getVariable(colorKey)}
You could chain these calls too in the JEXL expression too if you had
multiple levels of indirection.
Well guess it does not fit exactly this example which you point out
further down in this thread. However I'm thinking what you want to do
is dynamically assemble a key value by resolving anther key. I do
this for properties that associate values of an object like so:
a.b.c.name=someobj
a.b.c.class=CLI
a.b.c.package=org.apache.maven
a.b.c.interfaces=.
You know I totally messed this up here are the correct property keys i
was refering to above:
a.b.c.name=someobj
a.b.c.class.somebody=CLI
a.b.c.package.somebody=org.apache.maven
a.b.c.interfaces.somebody=.
I assemble these keys and look up their respective values using this
technique.
Cheers,
Alex

Re: dynamic property access
Ah, I see
I'm not sure if this is feasible...
One thing sure, you cannot put an expression in an expression (
${...${}}. It just does not work with jelly.
I've done a couple of tests with dynamic property names without success.

Let me give the real example:
config.properties
-
servername.qa=qaServer
servername.prod=prodServer
maven.xml
-
actually, this is probably a bit much. Is there a way to solve the original
example w/out modifying the tags?
