Resolve placeholders with defaults in web.xml during sca deployment

[former_member1035251]

Hi,
I'm currently using some vm variables to set params in web.xml. CXF version is 2.7, so we can't set it without defining the param in web.xml (ServletExporter,java not yet available)/

It works fine in tomcat if I don't set the VM arg at all, or if I set it. However, on NW I get an error because the placeholder is not resolved (without setting anything in configtool - we want to set default to false without user config).
