[jbossts-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBTM-2081) Don't mandate a property file where possible

Don't mandate a property file where possible -------------------------------------------- Key: JBTM-2081 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBTM-2081 Project: JBoss Transaction Manager Issue Type: Task Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Transaction Core Affects Versions: 5.0.0 Reporter: Mark Little Assignee: Tom Jenkinson Fix For: 5.0.2 I noticed this originally when doing the Android port, but now again when doing vert.x: at some point over the years we appear to have moved to a model where the properties file must be present (e.g., in class path or CWD) or we exit. I'm not sure why we do this given that every property has a default value anyway. For example: java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError: null at com.arjuna.common.util.propertyservice.PropertiesFactory.getPropertiesFromFile(PropertiesFactory.java:93) at com.arjuna.common.util.propertyservice.PropertiesFactory.initDefaultProperties(PropertiesFactory.java:236) at com.arjuna.common.util.propertyservice.PropertiesFactory.getDefaultProperties(PropertiesFactory.java:66) at com.arjuna.common.internal.util.propertyservice.BeanPopulator.getNamedInstance(BeanPopulator.java:77) at com.arjuna.common.internal.util.propertyservice.BeanPopulator.getDefaultInstance(BeanPopulator.java:49) at com.arjuna.ats.txoj.common.txojPropertyManager.getTxojEnvironmentBean(txojPropertyManager.java:48)
