Expression Variables

Any $variable can be used as a variable in an expression. To mirror the Client tag syntax, the $ prefix is optional for predefined variable names in expressions. For example, the following three portions of obj.conf are all semantically equivalent:

<If $uri = "*.html">
...
</If>

<If uri = "*.html">
...
</If>

<Client uri = "*.html">
...
</Client>

Any variable names you define must use the $ prefix. For example, the following expression is invalid even if somecustomvariable is defined in a server.xml variable element:

<If somecustomvariable = "foo">
...
</If>

To make this expression valid, add the dollar sign prefix:

<If $somecustomvariable = "foo">
...
</If>
