RE: how to set environment properties for an app?

[Ari Halberstadt]

This is what I originally did, and it works fine if you have just one copy of
the app running. What I need to do, though, is run two copies of the app, each
one with a slightly different config, but system environment properties apply to
all apps running within an instance of orion. I need a per-app config, like what
would be provided in orion-application.xml or orion-web.xml, only I can't find a
way to do this.

To do this, we pass in environment variables on the command line to the call
to java that starts orion using the -D option
So

java -Dconfig=OUR.CONFIG.STRING -jar /opt/orion/orion.jar

You can then access them using

String configKey = System.getProperty("config");

Hope that helped.
