external property file for core

[ernst Developer <er...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

With SYNCOPE-244 we now have the option to use an external property file
for syncope console. That is a very useful enhancement.

I would like to have the same option for syncope core.

At the moment all property files are loaded in the syncopeContext.xml file.
I guess it is possible to add the same PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer bean
in this file, with the lowest order, and we anyone can define its own
properties in the external property file. In this way, it is possible to
use different properties, without a new build.

I think it's just adding (as in applicationContext.xml in the console):

*<bean id="systemPropertyConfigurer"
class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
*
*      <property name="order" value="1"/>*
*      <property name="location"
value="file:#{(systemProperties['syncope.console.configuration'])}"/>*
*      <property name="ignoreResourceNotFound" value="true"/>*
*      <property name="ignoreUnresolvablePlaceholders" value="true"/>*
*</bean>*
*
*
And add an order property on the bean:
*<bean
class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
*

What do you think?

Regards,
Ernst
