RFC #0221: Allow combining application properties from multiple sources

at 2011-12-20 in RFCs by friebe (0 comments)

Scope of Change
The util.Properties API will be extended so it is possible to combine multiple Properties objects into one when querying property settings.

Rationale
Often, settings need to extend or modify a set of basic settings, while overwriting or completeing or resetting values. Two examples for this rationale:

  • different web application profiles (dev, qa, prod) usually share most data, except connection DSNs and log settings.
  • an application could choose to inherit database DSNs settings from a global Properties file, so there's no need to duplicate them.
