Is it possible to use Java system property variable in XInclude attribute href?

I am using the ActiveMQ Artemis split broker.xml feature and including xml file. I am trying to use Java system property for xml file path. But it is throwing error.

Here is the line I am trying.

<xi:include href="${amq.conf.broker.config}/broker-security-settings.xml"/>

I have separately defined -Damq.conf.broker.config=/var/amq/....

Getting following error

[Fatal Error] :116:82: An include with href '${amq.conf.broker.config}/broker-security-settings.xml'failed, and no fallback element was found.
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 116; columnNumber: 82; An include with href '${amq.conf.broker.config}/broker-security-settings.xml'failed, and no fallback element was found.

Solution

  • ActiveMQ Artemis doesn't currently support using system property substitution in the href of an include element. However, that seems like a nice feature to have so I've opened a new JIRA for it and sent a PR.
