Oh, that's interesting, thank you Thorsten. I thought that the env dependent variable substitution only worked for properties that are defined directly in my own beans - I guess I should have read the documentation more carefully!
This makes it quite straightforward. Thank you again, B.

I want to use the Spring Configurator to configure access ports for my JMX MBeans, with ports changing for the different development environments. The spring configuration file contains the following: <bean id="featureLauncherMBean" class="com.iggroup.wb.core.featurelauncher.internal.DefaultFeatureLauncher" init-method="init" destroy-method="dismissAllFeatures"> </bean> <util:map id="exposedMBeans"> <entry key="bean:type=featureLauncherMBean,name=remoteJMX" value-ref="featureLauncherMBean" /> </util:map> <bean id="mBeanExporter" class="org.springframework.jmx.export.MBeanExporter" p:beans-ref="exposedMBeans" p:assembler-ref="assembler" /> <util:list id="manageableInterfaces"> <value>com.iggroup.wb.core.featurelauncher.api.FeatureLauncherMBean</value> </util:list> <bean id="assembler" class="org.springframework.jmx.export.assembler.InterfaceBasedMBeanInfoAssembler" p:managedInterfaces-ref="manageableInterfaces" /> <bean id="registry" class="org.springframework.remoting.rmi.RmiRegistryFactoryBean" p:port="1099" /> <bean id="serverConnector" class="org.springframework.jmx.support.ConnectorServerFactoryBean" depends-on="registry" p:objectName="connector:name=rmi" p:serviceUrl="service:jmx:rmi://localhost/jndi/rmi://localhost:1099/jmxrmi" /> The first bean, featureLauncherMBean, is the one I work with directly but the ones that contain the environment dependent properties are registry (port property) and serverConnector (serviceUrl property).These beans are just part of the wiring and I cannot access them directly. How would I go about using the Configurator to get port and serviceUrl to point to the right port values depending upon the environment? Use running modes to store the properties http://cocoon.apache.org/subprojects/configuration/1.0/spring-configurator/2.0/1309_1_1.html http://cocoon.apache.org/subprojects/configuration/1.0/spring-configurator/2.0/1310_1_1.html so you have something like src/main/resources/META-INF/cocoon/properties/ and in there a prod.properties (1) file and in a dev (RUNNING_MODE) folder the same file (2) with another url. put in (1) serviceUrl=service:jmx:rmi://localhost/jndi/rmi://localhost:1099/jmxrmi and in (2) e.g. serviceUrl=service:jmx:rmi://myhost/jndi/rmi://localhost:666/jmxrmi and then simply p:serviceUrl="${serviceUrl}" in your spring file.
