System Properties - Revisited

pstephen Mar 26, 2002 2:01 PM

I've noticed in other threads the use of system properties is discouraged and that jboss.properties is being deprecated.

Then I have a question about how to configure my applicatiion. I am developing a commercial application and there are several properites that need to be configured on a per installation basis.
I plan on shipping just the .ear so I need a way to be able to set those properties external to that .ear. What is the recommended way of doing this?

The spec recommends this is a deployment issue.
The deployer should open up the archive and add/change
env entries in the deployment descriptors.

This one

Section 20.2.3 for the deployer's responsibilites.
