Using "profile:" property resolver to specify a keystore file for securing fabric containers does not work

It is related to the JIRA ENTESB-5097.

The instruction in the JIRA ENTESB-5097 described how to secure fabric containers. So I created a custom profile "secure" with following "org.ops4j.pax.web.properties":

org.osgi.service.http.port.secure=${port:8443,8543}
org.osgi.service.http.enabled=false
org.osgi.service.http.secure.enabled=true
org.ops4j.pax.web.ssl.keypassword=password
org.ops4j.pax.web.ssl.password=password
org.ops4j.pax.web.ssl.keystore=/apps/jboss/fuse/6.2.1/test/jboss-fuse-6.2.1.redhat-084/etc/mykeystore.jks

You can see that I only stored the keystore file externally on my local file system.

However, I'd like to store the keystore file within the custom profile "secure" instead and use "profile:" property resolver to configure the property "org.ops4j.pax.web.ssl.keystore" value like:

org.ops4j.pax.web.ssl.keystore=profile:mykeystore.jks

I added the JKS keystore file to the "secure" profile through git clone/push operations to make sure the integrity of the JKS binary file.

Also as described in the JIRA ENTESB-5097, I tried to create a fully secure fabric environment but with the following workaround:

1. make sure that the fabric root container does not have the "secure" profile applied just yet so it remains normal and insecure;
2. create a local child container with "container-create-child root child1" command. So the child1 container will be created as a normal and insecure local child container;
3. apply the "secure" profile to both containers one by one. It will work fine for both containers. To confirm, you can try to invoke URL "https://localhost:8444/jolokia" from your browser against the child1 container and you will get json data back.
4. stop/restart the child1 container with "container-stop/container-start" command, then try to invoke the same URL "https://localhost:8444/jolokia", nothing will be returned.

At the same time, you will get following error from the child1 container:

It looks like that Jetty does not recognize and resolve the property resolver "profile:mykeystore.jks" as the value of the property "org.ops4j.pax.web.ssl.keystore".
