RE: [xmlblaster] Variable substitution in xmlBlasterPlugins.xml

["christian chevalley" <christian.chevalley at austco.com>]

Got it!

The code must be modified to invoke I_Info.get instead of
pluginInfo.getParameters().getProperty(key, def) to force the expansion.

Thanks a lot.

Cheers from Sunny Western Australia,

Salut Christian,
you are right, as it looks like now there is currently no replacement of 
such variables in the plugins. One fast solution would be to let your 
plugin extend the GlobalInfo (which is a base class for plugins in the 
contrib package). This way the transformation would be done implicitly. 
If you do that, you should move your init(...) Code to doInit(...) (and 
make sure not to overwrite the init method).

Cheers
Michele
