[Joshua Henn (JIRA)]

     [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-2720?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Joshua Henn updated WFLY-2720:
------------------------------

    Description: 
Currently Deployment Overlays allow only the replacing whole resource files.  It would be nice to also be able to overlay System Properties that take precedent over globally defined properties.

ie.

    <deployment-overlays>
        <deployment-overlay name="myOverlay">
<system-properties>
        <property name="datasource.dockyard" value="java:jboss/datasources/dockyard"/>
    </system-properties>
            <content path="/WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml" content="/Users/josh/jboss-web.xml"/>
            <content path="/WEB-INF/classes/persistence.xml" content="/Users/josh/persistence.xml"/>
            <deployment name="controller2.war"/>
        </deployment-overlay>
    </deployment-overlays>

Usecase:
Have two deployments active of the same application, run-time configured by descriptor replacements via System Properties.
