I tried the properties-service.xml with one of the applications I manage that uses the environment variables defined in the command line and it seems is not working as expected. I still need to do another test making sure that the properties-service.xml gets loaded always before the application. At any rate, if you define properties in the service.xml I'd say that you application won't get the new property values from there even if you redeploy the properties-service.xml I was really looking forward to see this working on my environments. It's pretty cool though :) I slightly dissent on that, I mean, may be for a local environment its better/configurable from the IDE really quick and without a restart.

In my particular situation, it's easier to have people deploy an .xml file to the deploy directory than it is to make different run scripts for each server that define the different JAVA_OPTS. @feniix – nothing really.

set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -DURL=pete.com
or
JAVA_OPTS=”${JAVA_OPTS} -DURL=pete.com”
export JAVA_OPTS

What would be the difference with setting environment variables from the command line in the startup script in a JAVA_OPTS variable?
