Can we get environment variable from pom.xml into OSGi config?

[sean12341]

Hi, 

I am working on setting up an OSGi config using environment variables so they can be accessed on deployed environment on Cloud AEM, without the config values exposed in Github.

I came across this documentation at `https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/implementing/using-...`.

It says that we can set the environment variable under the "Environment Configuration" of Adobe Cloud Manager, and such an environment variable will be available in the pom.xml file per below:

<password>${env.CUSTOM_MYCO_REPOSITORY_PASSWORD}</password>

However, I need to use it in the OSGi config, not in the pom.xml file. Is it possible to grab the environment variable from the pom.xml file into the OSGi config?

I looked in the docs below, but was not able to find the answer:

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-cloud-service/content/implementing/deploy...

Thank you,

Hello @sean12341 

You might already be aware of 2 types of CM variables. 

- Variable visible in CM console

- Secret variables for passwords.

Just adding info here, incase its missed.

Details of both are available in link shared by @arunpatidar
