How to inject System properties into JBoss ?

Written by Mark S.

JBoss recipe of the day
One cool way to add a list of System properties to JBoss is the Properties MBean Service.
In the deployment folder look for "properties-service.xml". (if you don't have it in your release you can create it at any time) :

Now add your properties either in the URLList Attribute or in the Properties Attribute:

<server>
<mbean code="org.jboss.varia.property.SystemPropertiesService" 
	 name="jboss:type=Service,name=SystemProperties">
 
    <attribute name="URLList">
      http://somehost/some-location.properties,
      ./conf/somelocal.properties
    </attribute>

    <attribute name="Properties">
       property1=This is the value of my property
       property2=This is the value of my other property
    </attribute>
   
</server>

As you can see the The "URLList" is a comma-separated list of URL strings from which to load properties file-formatted content while the "Properties" is a specification of multiple property name=value pairs

Now you can access your properties with standard:

System.getProperty("property1");

The property service may be used to inject properties into Mbeans/Services
created after the property service. Is there a way to inject properties into
configuration of resources like datasources?
