Question

I develop a web application.
The backend of it is jboss 6.1.
In this environment, what is the best way to implement the following:
Some custom entries outside in a file like DEBUG or STAGE or something like this with a value which can be changed.
In the session bean I want to read this value and behave according to this setting.
In other environments, a good way to implement this is a properties file.
But is it also with jboss?
Thanks a lot in advance

Answer 1

If configuration is limited then you can use

While launching Jboss you can speficy properties using -D option.

-Dproperty=value
Set a system property value. If value is a string that contains spaces, you must enclose the string in double quotes:
java -Dfoo=”some string” SomeClass

You can use System.getProperty(String Key) to access value of it.
