Set the application configuration properties.

Return the entire set of application configuration properties.

a String object.

supplementSystemPropertiesFromKey

public static boolean supplementSystemPropertiesFromKey(String key)

Adds new keys to the system properties using the passed key name a the properties location instance. The passed key is used as a key to the system Properties.getProperty(java.lang.String) to find the supplementary property information. The returned value should be in the form of a list of file names, each separated by the system File.pathSeparator character.

Once the list of files is recovered, each file is visited and loaded into the system properties. If any file cannot be loaded due to an I/O error then it is skipped as a whole. No partial key sets are loaded into the system properties. Also, this method will not overwrite an existing key in the currently loaded properties.

Parameters:

key - The key name used to lookup the property path values.

Returns:

True if all properties loaded correctly, false if any property file failed to load.
