Set application specific values to .properties file of an external jar
Hi,
We are using some external jars and they have .properties config files where they are setting some environment variables like application id, the security domain can be used by those jars for outbound rest calls, and others. In that properties file they have placeholder value for security domain to be used by application (in our case Pega). So they are expecting a .properties file which overrides the value defined in external jar and it is working the same way in other applications which are not Pega but developed in Java.
My question is how do we override such environment properties like security domain from Pega with our application specific values.
Thanks,
Shivakumar Singani.

build a listener which reads your property files and create node level data pages and access through pega.

- Add these settings as JVM args.
- Create a Java function to read an argument by name
- Use the custom function to read each argument
- Populate the node level DP

But how does the external jar know the jvm args we defined?
The property here is a security domain used specifically for that jar. If I set this value as jvm arg does not it affect other areas?
The external jar expecting it from a properties file.
