[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFCORE-336) Ability for Deployment Overlays to overlay System Properties

[Brian Stansberry (JIRA)]

     [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFCORE-336?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Brian Stansberry resolved WFCORE-336.
-------------------------------------
    Resolution: Won't Do


I'm resolving this as Won't Do because the existing META-INF/jboss-properties facility allows deployment-specific resolution of values. A system property is globally scoped so there is no way to have it have a different value in a different context.

There are other things to track though that may meet the use case:

1) The Microprofile Config API and an impl of that that [~jmesnil] developed for use in WildFly-based servers (particularly WildFly Swarm):

https://github.com/wildfly-extras/wildfly-microprofile-config

2) A recent request for a different way to configure per deployment properties for use in expression resolution:

https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-8868

> 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.
> {code:xml}
>     <deployment-overlays>
>         <deployment-overlay name="myOverlay">
>             <system-properties>
>                 <property name="datasource" value="java:jboss/datasources/controller"/>
>             </system-properties>
>             <deployment name="controller.war"/>
>         </deployment-overlay>
>     </deployment-overlays>
> {code}
> Usecase:
> Have two deployments active of the same application, run-time configured by descriptor replacements via System Properties.
