             Summary: Add PathUtils.replaceEnvVariables() wrapper around retrieved context parameters
                 Key: OODT-649
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OODT-649
             Project: OODT
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: product server
    Affects Versions: 0.7
            Reporter: Ross Laidlaw
            Assignee: Ross Laidlaw
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 0.7


Methods in several classes in the cas.product.service.resources package retrieve parameters from the servlet context using the context.getInitParameter(String parameterName) method call, for example as follows:

{code}
setWorkingDirPath(context.getInitParameter("filemgr.working.dir"));
{code}

But these parameters may contain environment variables such as [HOME] or [FMPROD_HOME], etc.  Currently, these aren't processed properly and the getInitParameter call needs to be wrapped in a call to PathUtils.replaceEnvVariables() (from the cas-metadata module) to process the environment variables, for example as follows:

{code}
setWorkingDirPath(PathUtils.replaceEnvVariables(
  context.getInitParameter("filemgr.working.dir")));
{code}

This is already done in the original Data, RDF and RSS servlets but was accidentally omitted from the new resource classes in the cas.product.service.resources package.
