system-property

Specifies a system property. A system property defines a common value for a setting at one of these levels, from highest to lowest: domain, server, or config. A value set at a higher level can be overridden at a lower level. Some system properties are predefined; see system-property. You can also create system properties using this element.

The following example shows the use of a predefined system property:

<log-service file="${com.sun.aas.instanceRoot}/logs/server.log">
    <module-log-levels admin=INFO .../>
</log-service>

The following example shows the creation and use of a system property:

<config name="config1">
    ...
    <http-service>
        ...
        <http-listener id="ls1" host="0.0.0.0" port="${ls1-port}"/>
        ...
    </http-service>
    ...
    <system-property name="ls1-port" value="8080"/>
</config>
