Description

When using Configuration.getValByRegex(...), variables are not resolved.

For example:

<property>
   <name>bar</name>
   <value>woot</value>
</property>
<property>
   <name>foo3</name>
   <value>${bar}</value>
</property>

If you then try to do something like Configuration.getValByRegex(foo.*), it will return a Map containing "foo3=${bar}" instead of "foo3=woot"
