Unable to access global property within xf:submission@action

Hello all,

I am searching for a simple way to access a global property (defined in
'properties-form-runner.xml' for example) inside an XPL file but I tried all
sorts of approaches with no success. In a nutshell, I want to define a URL
for a REST service in the properties file and then use it inside
xforms:submission@action in my xpl and xform pages instead of hardcoding it
everywhere. I am sure there is a simple way to do that.

For example, the property 'oxf.fr.persistence.service.exist.uri' is used
below but this does not work as expected. If I put a constant (string) for
the value of the @action attribute, things work fine. Are XPath functions
supported at all in the xforms:submission@action attribute ? If so, is there
anything special I need to do to get it to work?  

<p:processor name="oxf:xforms-submission">
        <p:input name="submission">
                <xforms:submission method="get"
                        xxforms:username="guest" xxforms:password="guest"
       
action="concat(p:property('oxf.fr.persistence.service.exist.uri'),
'/foo.xml')"/>
        </p:input>
        <p:input name="request">
                <parameters/>
        </p:input>
<p:output name="response" ref="data"/>

that this is an XPath expression. You might also want to use the
attribute name resource=... instead of action=... (action has be
deprecated in favor of resource in XForms 1.1). So your code should
read:

resource="{concat(p:property('oxf.fr.persistence.service.exist.uri'),
'/foo.xml')}"
