Hi Robin, There was a discussion in this thread https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=65072 about the mentioned problem. Workaround is to use the Groovy function instead. If the function works then there must be a way to evaluate the regular ${variable}. Thread is still open, so it might get fixed in future.
