System env in jnlp file

Question

hi,
is it possible to do something like this in jnlp file, somehow?
some.jnlp:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
     <resources>
          <property name="my_property" value="${HOME_DIR}/some_subdir">
     </resources>
</jnlp>i need to use system environment property (i.e. HOME_DIR), to be replaced by actual home directory on client desktop.
any idea how to solve this?
pb

You won't get the value into your JNLP file, but you can still use it in your app like this:
String myProp = System.getProperty("my_property");
myProp.replace('/', File.separatorChar);
String homedir = System.getProperty("user.home");
myProp = myProp.replace("${HOME_DIR}", homedir);
