Composite Properties

["Nau, Michael" <Mi...@pyxis.com>]

Is there anyway to specify a composite property? For example: 

<property name="name" value="exception"/>
<property name="exception.jar.path" value="D:/lib/exception.jar"/>

"${ ${name} .jar.path}"

Not easily.  The way I've done it in the past is:

1) echo "$name.jar.path" to a temp file.
2) use loadfile with an ExpandProperties filter on it to load the contents 
of the file into a variable. This variable will contain the value of the 
expression you want
3) delete the temp file.
4) use the variable you have loaded...

Hope this helps,
