Hi Vanya, thanks for the suggestion. We do not plan to do this at this point, as arbitrary config properties can become unwieldy.
I propose that you instead extend the settings app with new properties under Synchronization and base it on system settings (this will be more dynamic): https://play.dhis2.org/demo/dhis-web-settings/# If you really need compile time (application context startup time) configuration properties, then you could create a spring factory bean in combination with the DhisConfigurationProvider, something like this: class DhisConfigurationPropertyFactoryBean implements FactoryBean<String> which uses the DhisConfigurationProvider to look up a given property. Have a look at ConnectionPropertyFactoryBean.java for reference. regards, Lars On Tue, Mar 8, 2016 at 10:28 AM, Vanya Seth <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Lars > > Had a question regarding dhis.conf being external to the system( as in, in > the DHIS2 home). > Would there be a chance where we plan to move this properties file as a > classpath resource. > There are multiple advantages to it.
