Hi Michael, aKey is a key of any value that you want to inject to the System properties via System.setProperty(aKey,value) for your application, then accessing it using System.getProperty(aKey); in your server side code. Shindig has a couple of properties that can be preset such as shindig.host, shindig.port either via the JVM argument, or the web.xml ... which is just a convenient way to set them. It'd be best to be able to set the values dynamically as discussed here http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg02280.html
Thanks Chirag for forwarding the message, I missed it somehow.

I tracked the origin of aKey down to this change http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/shindig/trunk/java/server/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml?r1=957770&r2=990263 but I'm not sure how it's used.
