[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (JGRP-188) JGroups should not use System properties, because it's too restrictive

JGroups should not use System properties, because it's too restrictive ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JGRP-188 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JGRP-188 Project: JGroups Issue Type: Feature Request Affects Versions: 2.2.9.1, 2.2.9, 2.2.8 Environment: all Reporter: Robert Stevenson Assigned To: Bela Ban Priority: Minor Fix For: 2.4 Original Estimate: 1 day Remaining Estimate: 1 day JGroups should not use System properties for configuration, it should instead use a Global Configurator class (singleton), similar to log4j; which just contains a Properties object. This would allow JGroups to be much easier to move around to different environments. For example : (Applet), which does not have access to easily change System properties, on a per applet basis. This new class could have a mapping/conversion method to make the current -D command line options be put into this new Properties Configurator for backward compatibility
