OpenLiberty does not seem to support variable substitution of boolean data-types. I have a MicroProfile JWT configuration element (ignoreApplicationAuthMethod) that I would like to tokenize. Are there best practices for externalizing boolean parameters needed in server.xml? To work around this I have pulled the entire mpJwt configuration element up into our parent environment specific xml, but this in not ideal as not every server requires this mpJwt configuration.

What I would like to do:

`<mpJwt audiences="myAud" id="${jwtBuilderName}" ignoreApplicationAuthMethod="${enforceJwt}" issuer="http://openliberty.io" keyName="secretKey" mapToUserRegistry="false"/>`

how/where are you specifying `enforceJwt`? – Andy Guibert May 10 '18 at 15:48
also, have you considered breaking this JWT configuration out into its own XML file (such as jwtConfig.xml) and then every server that needs JWT can `` it? – Andy Guibert May 10 '18 at 15:49
My variable is specified as ``. I think your suggestion of breaking out the jwt config into its own XML is the way to go. Thanks – Colby Montgomery May 10 '18 at 16:42
Ha, actually had a typo, sorry. I was totally wrong, the variable substitution works. Helps when you dont misspell `variable`. Thanks though. – Colby Montgomery May 10 '18 at 16:50

Also you should be aware that we don't support variable substitution for the id="${jwtBuilderName}" on any element. – Alasdair May 10 '18 at 18:59
