way to provide extra env or properties files?

[Mark Anderson]

with the payara-micro.jar command line i'm not seeing any way to specify a X.env file

of environment variables, or a X.properties file that has arbitrary jvm system properties.

(There is --systemproperties  but as far as I can tell it is just used for payara. namepace).

So even though payara micro supports MP Config, I'm not see an easy way to specify 

additional config values on the command line.

I'm also seeing no way to specify additional config *sources* (not just values) on the

command-line as part of permanent config -- just things i can maybe do in the

asadmin UI.

Right now I'm sourcing a file with a bunch of "export A=1" type lines in it, which seems

to work but isn't ideal.

Hi,

You are correct that the --systemProperties command line option is only used to configure Payara Micro options.  It seems a good idea to me if we add the possibility that this file is also used to define system properties in general that can be picked up by MicroProfile Config.

If you want to avoid a long list of exports for the moment, i recommend that you write a custom MicroProfile ConfigSource that reads a properties file from the filesystem.

Best Regards
