Programming

Hi I have certain environmenet variables defined in .profile:

export DBNAME="mydb"
export DBHOST="devbox.us.abc.com"
export DBPORT="1111"
export PASSWORD="mypwd"
export MMUSER="myid"


I also have an xml file defined like:
<CONFIG>
<DEFAULTS operator="oraread">
<PROPERTY name="hostname" value="devbox.us.abc.com"/>
<PROPERTY name="port" value="1111"/>
<PROPERTY name="dbname" value="mydb"/>
<PROPERTY name="connectstring" value="myid/mypwd"/>
</DEFAULTS>
</CONFIG>

This xml file is passed external systems for certain operations.
Now is it possible to access these environment variable in the xml file.
I do not want to update the xml file as this is causing a security voilation.
So in essence I want to access these env variables in the xml structure. I donot want to ever update this xml file. Is this possible?

Thanks,
Neha

State your question clearly...as of now it is hard to understand what you're trying to do.

Yes, it is possible - but the program which uses the XML configuration file needs to be modified to check if the corresponding environmental variable is set and, if so, use that value rather than the value from the configuration file.
