Using ${applicationRoot} in Torque.properties (Torque-3.0-dev)

[Age Mooy <am...@home.nl>]

Hi,

I'm using turbine-2 with the decoupled Torque from the latest tdk snapshot and I'm running into some problems
with Hypersonic jdbc urls. In 2.1 apps I am a happy user of the ${applicationRoot} helper variable to keep my
database urls relative, but that var is not the same in the decoupled Torque.

The Torque.properties file has the following line:

torque.applicationRoot = .

But at runtime that points to the tomcat/bin directory. The torque.log file ends up in tomcat/bin/logs and all
my database calls fail with Hypersonic IO errors because the database can't be found. The url in
Torque.properties is:

jdbc:hsqldb:${applicationRoot}/WEB-INF/db/hsqldb-local

With this behaviour I'm forced back to hardcoding the absolute path to the database, which makes my apps
harder to move.

Is there any way to make Torque deal with this in a cleaner way ?

Attached is a message I sent a few weeks ago with a workaround I came up
with.
