Storing treecache cluster properties in property file

Question

Hi,

I'm using Jboss 4, hibenate, spring and treecache. As we have different environments, I would like to store the cluster information in a separated property file and reference to the content from the treecache xml file. I copied the treecache-optimistic.xml into

\jboss-4.2.0.GA\server\Pearl\conf

and setup the properties in \jboss-4.2.0.GA\server\Pearl\deploy\properties-service.xml

 <attribute name="Properties">
    cluster.name=CluterName
 cluster.ip=228.1.3.1
 cluster.port=48866
    </attribute>

I tried to reference it in the treecache-optimistic.xml like this:

 <attribute name="ClusterName">${cluster.name}</attribute>

After starting the instance I found via JMX that the name of the cluster is ${cluster.name} and not the value of the property (ClusterName). I thought that it can not find the property somehow, but if I change the reference to

<attribute name="ClusterName">${cluster.name:DefaultValue}</attribute>

then I get the following error:

Exception starting filter ServletRequestScopeFilter org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'pearlSessionFactory' defined in class path resource [hibernate-spring.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is org.hibernate.cache.CacheException: javax.management.MalformedObjectNameException: Invalid character ':' in value part of property

The hibernate properties are configured by spring:

 <!-- Database Property -->
    <bean id="hibernatePropertiesPearl"
          class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertiesFactoryBean">
        <property name="properties">
            <props>
                <prop key="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle9Dialect</prop>
                <prop key="hibernate.cache.provider_class">org.hibernate.cache.TreeCacheProvider</prop>
                <prop key="hibernate.show_sql">false</prop>
                <prop key="hibernate.max_fetch_depth">0</prop>
                <prop key="hibernate.jdbc.batch_size">0</prop>

I do not know why the treecache-optimistic.xml can not handle property files :-(

Thanks Zoltan
