Configuration

Plugin Configuration is based on a per plugin base. All configuration properties come in multiple forms, most common the property form rest.port and the environment variable form REST_PORT.

jZenith will automatically pick up configuation in the following order:

• bound via the JZenith.withConfiguration method
• set via command line argument (--restPort)
• directly from an environment variable (REST_PORT)
• from a property file in the class root, either per plugin (rest.properties) or the global configuration file (jzenith.properties)
• the value that is actually defined as default on the configuration interface

Wherever jZenith get the value from, it will still support environment variable expansion, thus something like

JZenith.withConfiguration("rest.port","$PORT");

will behave as expected.
