I just re-documented NSProperties (manually edited Javadoc enclosed) as an example of how far off target a lot of the WO Javadoc is. The portion in question here says: "The application properties can come from four sources: argument parameters from the command line, the file WebObjects.properties in the user's home directory the application's Properties file, and the Properties files of any frameworks the application includes, in that order of precedence."That is, in your numbering: 1, 4, 2, 3 <NSProperties.html>
Neither the online copy of the 5.2 or 5.3 docs, nor indeed my local copy, have the clarifying phrase "in that order of preference" - and you've changed the order of the sentence.
You have: 1) Command line args 4) ~/WebObjects.properties 2) Application Properties file 3) Framework Properties file however, the online doc states:The application properties can come from four sources: the command line, the application's Properties file, the Properties files of any frameworks the application includes, and the file WebObjects.properties in the user's home directory.
Which is: 1) Command line args 2) Application Properties file 3) Framework Properties file 4) ~/WebObjects.propertiesSo how are the former conclusions being made? Has someone actually tested this?
