[Building Sakai] Possible regression in string handling in properties files

[gayan sukumal wiharagoda]

Hi,
I went trough the link.I need to use Set
username at javax.sql.BaseDataSource=${sakai}
.Is that the thing?.I have attached my sakai.properties file with this. It
is in the ${CATALINA_HOME}/sakai directory.
cheers,
Gayan.
