This is an example on how to use microprofile config in TomEE.

== Run the application:

[source,bash]
----
mvn clean install tomee:run 
----

== API

Within the application there are three ways to inject values using config

1 . For the ConfigProperty with default value call:
----
GET http://localhost:8080/mp-config-example/sample/defaultProperty
----

2 . For the get property inject with ConfigProperty call:
----
GET http://localhost:8080/mp-config-example/sample/injectedJavaVersion
----

3 . For the get property from Config with getValue call:
----
GET http://localhost:8080/mp-config-example/sample/javaVersion
----

== Config Feature

MicroProfile Config is a solution to externalise configuration from microservices. 
Each individual property can be injected directly

[source,java,numbered]
----
@Inject
@ConfigProperty(name = "java.runtime.version")
private String javaVersion;
----

You can also set a default value for it, in case the config does not match the property in the context it will use the default value

[source,java,numbered]
----
@Inject
@ConfigProperty(name = "defaultProperty", defaultValue = "ALOHA")
private String defaultProperty;
----

The config object can also be injected. Then use the getValue() method to retrieve the individual property.

[source,java,numbered]
----    
@Inject
private Config config;

@GET
@Path("javaVersion")
public String getJavaVersionPropertyFromSystemProperties() {
    return config.getValue("java.runtime.version", String.class);
}
