Hi,

What exact version you are using, as this has changed a bit in 7.1.x versions.

and what kind of operation mode are you using? Domain or Standalone?

You can add, after the <extensions> node, a block like

    <system-properties>

        <property name="propertyName" value="propertyValue"/>

    </system-properties>

Regards

There's a couple of different ways to do this.

The easiest is to use the "-P" option on the command line:

{code}# bin/standalone.sh -P path/to/my/system.properties{code}

Alternatively, you can follow the instructions on How to put an external file in the classpath and then load it from an @Startup bean:

{code:java}@Singleton
@Startup
public class SystemPropertiesLoader{
 
     @PostConstruct
     void initialise() {
          Properties mySystemProperties = new Properties();
          mySystemProperties.load(SystemPropertiesLoader.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("settings.properties"));
          System.getProperties().putAll(mySystemProperties);
     }
}{code}

Caveat: the code above has been entered "off the cuff", but should get you going.

Also, please don't use this for new code. Only use it if you're porting existing stuff as there are better ways to do this.

Hi Stephen,  Could you please add some details on the other better ways you were referring to. I am using EAP 6.1 alpha and i have similar requirement.
