Hi,

I want to create the Index, relative to my JBOSS_HOME. How can I use this in persistence.xml

Example
<property name="hibernate.search.default.sourceBase" value="${JBOSS_HOME}/index/default"/>

Hi,

have you actually tried the example below. Depending on the version of JBoss AS you are using it should actually work. Are you using AS 7? I think in the earlier versions it did not work, but it should work now. See also https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-3195

Another alternative might be to use build time filtering to write the right value into persistence.xml at build time.

Let us know if you get it to work and if not you can maybe provide some more information about your environment.

Thanks Hardy,

Sorry I could not figure out which example you are referring to. Did you mean the one in JIRA?

I do use JBoss AS 7.1.1

Hi,

I should have said, above. I meant your example. Looking at the Jira issue variable substitution was fixed for AS 7.1.1, so it should work. I am not 100% sure whether environment variables work as well or whether the properties have to be passed via -Dfoo=bar or specified in standalone.xml. How do you specify/set the variable? If it is an environment variable and it does not work, could you try to specify it on the Java command line?

Make sure that as7/standalone/configuration/standalone.xml has :
<spec-descriptor-property-replacement>true</spec-descriptor-property-replacement>

This was reported as a bug recently (https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-5015) that is resolved by setting the spec-descriptor-property-replacement to true. As mentioned in the jira, I was able to pass a property definition when starting AS which was used in the persistence.xml.

./standalone.sh "-Dtest.ds=java:jboss/datasources/ExampleDS"

Hope this helps.
