Pierre Smits commented on OFBIZ-7112:
-------------------------------------

Recapping the suggestion:
* when the key and value exist in the entity:SystemProperty, the value should 
be taken from the entity record
* when the key exist - but not the value - in the entity:SystemProperty, the 
value should be taken from the .properties file
* when the key and value don't exist in the entity:SystemProperty, the value 
should be taken from the .properties file.

I would say that the second point would make things more complicated (requiring 
code changes). If a key exists (in either entity:SystemProperty or .properties 
file) but it doesn't have a value, then a null is (or should be) returned. This 
might be a desired outcome.
And is already in place.

> Ofbiz reads properties from either a properties file or the 
> entity:SystemProperty. The way it works previously is that ofbiz reads from 
> the entity:SystemProperty first and if there is no value associated with the 
> target propertyname, it would then locate the value from the relevant 
> properties file.
> In other words, if there is a database entry for a property, the database 
> entry should override the associated properties file.
> The issue is that if a database entry exist but the value is empty, it would 
> look for a value from the properties file.  It should not do so.  If a 
> database entry exists for the propertyname of interest, the value should be 
> taken from the database even if it holds an empty value.
