Method Detail

resolveSystemPropertyRefs

public static java.lang.String resolveSystemPropertyRefs(java.lang.String propertyValue)

Resolves any references to System Properties in a String value by replacing the reference with the actual System Property value. System Property references appear as a ${} sequence with the property name in between. They cannot be nested, i.e. the name of the property cannot be itself the result of resolving a nested property reference.

Parameters:

propertyValue - The String value to be resolved for System Property references

Returns:

The resolved String value
