[jsr-314-open] [jsf2next] PROJECT_STAGE system property configuration

[Lincoln Baxter, III]

We should also probably decide and state that configuration defined in
web.xml will override the system property.. or visa versa. Though I think
the former allows more fine grained control.

Keep it simple.

Okay, thanks for the update Ed.  I wasn't aware that there had been push
back from the Servlet EG on this.

Personally I don't understand the nature of the objection.  In some case
fine-grained (application-specific) control is desired.  We have addressed
this case via the context parameter.  There seems to be general agreement in
our EG that a system-level property would also be beneficial and in
particular would improve the ease of use of this feature for
development-time scenarios (ie. no need for a web.xml or JNDI config).  Not
sure why we need to choose one approach vs. the other.  Both serve a
purpose.

Wow, sounds harsh.  I guess I am missing why this is so controversial.

In any case, thanks for raising this (again).
