Evaluating properties

[Peter Donald <pe...@realityforge.org>]

Hi,

Someone wanna tell me how to do the following. I have some property files that 
look like

property1.properties
--------------------
myProp=1

property2.properties
--------------------
mySecondProp=${myProp}


I want to load both property files and have the second one resolved so that it 
is "mySecondProp=1". I though the following would work but it doesn't. ANyone 
know why?

<util:properties var="_data" file="property1.properties" />
<j:forEach items="${_data.keySet().iterator()}" var="_key">
  <j:set var="${_key}"><j:expr value="${_data.get(_key)}"></j:set>
</j:forEach>

<util:properties var="_data" file="property2.properties" />
<j:forEach items="${_data.keySet().iterator()}" var="_key">
  <j:set var="${_key}"><j:expr value="${_data.get(_key)}"></j:set>
</j:forEach>

Cheers,

Peter Donald
