clarification on system properties

[Karan Malhi <ka...@gmail.com>]

If I set a system property in all the following places, which one will take
precedence and what is the order:

-- on the command line
$ ./bin/openejb start "-Dopenejb.deploymentId.format = {moduleId}/{ejbName}"

-- in the openejb-jar.xml
<openejb-jar>
  <properties>
     openejb.deploymentId.format = {moduleId}/{ejbName}

  </properties>
</openejb-jar>

-- in conf/system.properties

openejb.deploymentId.format = {moduleId}/{ejbName}

-- via the InitialContext properties when embedded.

For the  an embedded testing scenario:

  1. openejb-jar properties
  2. initial context properties
  3. System.getProperties()

For standalone:

  1. openejb-jar properties
  2. command line properties
  3. conf/system.properties
  4. System.getProperties()

The caveat is that i think only some properties are supported as  
openejb-jar properties.  Looks like the following are supported:
  - openejb.descriptors.output
  - openejb.deploymentId.format
  - openejb.jndiname.strategy.class
  - openejb.jndiname.format
  - openejb.wsAddress.format
