I tried it with double-quotes before and it wont accept it:

$ sed "s/weblogic.Server/$APP_SERVER_DOMAIN weblogic.Server/" $file
sed: -e expression #1, char 22: unknown option to `s'


I grabbed a line from a script that works on Solaris (double quotes work
there):
sed "s/"$system"_User_email = "$cur_email"/"$system"_User_email =
"$new_mail"/" $file > ./tmp.txt

It's not a sed thing, it's a shell thing.  When you put the  
expression in single quotes, the shell doesn't touch the string, but  
by putting the string in double quotes the shell will parse the  
string before sending it to sed.  This is standard for unix, linux,  
cygwin, etc, etc
