= Properties Command line Tool

To see all configurable properties in use by OpenEJB, using the
following tool against a running server:

________________________
./bin/openejb properties
________________________

The output of this tool takes all overrideable components OpenEJB sees
and outputs their properties along with the current value. This allows
you to easily see what is running in your system, what properties are
available for overriding, and what exact values are for each component.
OpenEJB has a number of flags that can be passed to it not associated
with any particular component, these are output as well.

Content from this file can be safely copied as-is into the
conf/system.properties file or sent to the users list with bug reports.
These properties may also be applied back into the openejb.xml file by
pasting the properties without the "." prefix into the respective
component declarations. The only warning is that any properties of type
".password" will have their values masked, so make sure you edit them if
you reapply them back into conf/openejb.xml or conf/system.properties.

= Property Overriding

Any component configured in OpenEJB via the openejb.xml (and some that
aren't) can be overridden using system properties. The format is:

`<id>.<property-name>=<property-value>`

And this can be done on the command line as follows:

`./bin/openejb -D<id>.<property-name>=<property-value> ...`

Or by adding the property to the conf/system.properties file. Note that
command line overrides win over overrides in the conf/system.properties
file.

In an embedded environment, the properties can be added to the Hashtable
passed into the javax.naming.InitialContext when using the
LocalInitialContextFactory or also to the System.getProperties() object
before OpenEJB is embedded (which will be when the first InitialContext
is created).

At startup, OpenEJB will find the component with the given id and apply
the new property value before constructing the individual component.
