I'm trying to use multiple property files from the etc directory in a JBoss Fuse (6.3) Blueprint. My first approach was the following:
<cm:property-placeholder persistent-id="foo" />
<cm:property-placeholder persistent-id="bar" />
I thought that would work, as it is described in Red Hat's documentation:
Using multiple property placeholders in Blueprint
It is legal to define multiple property placeholders in a Blueprint XML file (that is, defining multiple cm:property-placeholder elements that reference different persistent IDs). One thing that you need to be aware of, however, is that there can be a clash if two properties from different property placeholders have the same name. In this case, the following rules determine which property takes precedence:
Explicitly defined property settings (for example, defined in a
etc/PersistentID.cfgfile) take precedence over default property settings (defined in acm:default-propertieselement).If there is more than one explicit setting for a given property, the setting from the last property placeholder in the Blueprint file takes precedence.
Default property settings (defined in a
cm:default-propertieselement) have the lowest priority.
But then I got the error that Multiple placeholders with the same prefix and suffix are not allowed:

So I've set the placeholder-prefix and placeholder-suffix:
<cm:property-placeholder persistent-id="foo" />
<cm:property-placeholder persistent-id="bar"
placeholder-prefix="$(" placeholder-suffix=")"/>
With that, I should be able to access etc/foo.cfg with $ { } and etc/bar.cfg Properties with $ ( ), right?
No:
Caused by: java.io.IOException: Could not open $(bar_property) as a file, class path resource, or URL.

And I've checked that bar_property exists in etc/bar.cfg.
So how to use multiple property-placeholder in JBoss Fuse Blueprints? I'm using JBoss Fuse 6.3.0.329.
As I type in that question, I found the answer directly above the quoted section of the RedHat documentation (Rubber duck debugging ;-) :
The syntax,
{{prefix}}, substitutes the value of theprefixvariable into the blueprint XML file. The OSGi properties are set up using the following XML elements:
cm:property-placeholder
This element gives you access to the properties associated with the specified persistent ID. After defining this element, you can use the syntax,{{PropName}}, to substitute variables belonging to the specified persistent ID.
cm:property-placeholder/cm:default-properties
You can optionally specify default values for properties by definingcm:propertyelements inside thecm:default-propertieselement. If the correspondingetc/PersistentID.cfgfile defines property values, however, these will be used instead.
So the definition of the property-placeholder was correct as follows:
<cm:property-placeholder persistent-id="foo" />
<cm:property-placeholder persistent-id="bar"
placeholder-prefix="$(" placeholder-suffix=")"/>
But in my example the property must then be used with {{bar_property}} instead of $(bar_property).
