Yes this is a good idea. We did such a modification into an old OFbiz
project and it was very useful.

Problem:
------------
1. If you would like to have different tenants on your system and want
to have different property settings for each tenant laike language or
currency etc, that is currently not supported.
2. the properties are not very well organized, to say the least.
Proposal:
------------
1. create the following entity SystemProperty with fields:
systemPropertyId(key)
parentSystemPropertyId
description
ofbizPropertyName(index)
systemPropertyValue
Initially load the systemPropertyid from the ofbiz propertyId so
accounting.fixedasset.autocreate=Y will have 3 records using the
parent id but only the lowest level will have the
accounting.fixedasset.autocreate name and value=Y
when we have this working we can slowly reorganize these records
without having to change the programs.
2. add the delegator parameter to the getPropertyValue method and
change the method system wide.
the getPropertyValue method will first look in this entity with the
provided delegator and when the property is null or not found, use the
properties file property as currently is done.
3. resolve anywhere where this method is called and where the
delegator is not available.
4. add a webtools option to set the properties.
Please provide comments or counter proposals......
Regards,
Hans
