system-property's also become java system properties! I.e. every such
system-property is added via System.setProperty()
E.g. add this to the <server> element
<system-property name="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" value="28687"></system-property>
Start the server and run this:
asadmin generate-jvm-report | grep -i xxxx
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX = 28687
====================
This technique [1] is used for automagic token resolution. System
property, env. variables are used to find values for tokens.
