If using spring, the below example serves to bring in properties
auto-magically based on a the APP_NAME (ex: /etc/MYAPP or for developers
${user.home}/APPNAME - there are a couple tricks to get this working in
a CI (ie: Jenkins) environment ) set as an environment variable. Then
the system admins maintain the configuration just as is done for all the
other applications (ex: with chef or puppet). If not using Spring, a
utility class can be setup to read the .properties files. With log4j,
look at the config class "PropertyConfigurator" or a similar one for
log4j.xml configuration files.
Hope this helps out - hanasaki
