Hi,
I want to be able to override bean config properties with system properties.

For example,

Code:
 <bean id="myObject" parent="_abstractObject">
    <property name="jndiName" value="my.jndi.Name"/>
  </bean>
is the default and I want that to remain as is. I'd like to be able to start my JVM with
Code:
-DmyObject.jndiName=my.new.jndi.Name
I tried, I guess I can't. Looking at the PropertyOverrideConfigurer JavaDoc I see no system override property.

So I am starting to convolute a way. Maybe I can have a bunch of different override property files and chose which one to load with a system property like

Code:
<bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer"   id="bootstrap" p:systemPropertiesModeName="SYSTEM_PROPERTIES_MODE_OVERRIDE">
        <property name='properties'>
            <props>
            	<prop key="override.properties">empty.properties</prop>
            </props>
        </property>
    </bean>

  <bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyOverrideConfigurer" p:ignoreResourceNotFound="true"
        p:locations="classpath:${override.properties}"/>
and then if there are no system properties everything works and if there is a

Code:
-Doverride.properties=myfile.properties
and myfile.properties contains
Code:
myObject.jndiName=my.new.jndi.Name
and the override properties get loaded then I am happy enough.

But I get the following exception

Code:
Could not resolve placeholder 'override.properties'
Is it possible to configure a PropertyOverrideConfigurer with a PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer? Or is there a best/normal/acceptable way to override properties based on some system property?

Cheers in advance
