#6 Find a way to load all property files from within a specified folder

[Mirco Gatz]

Currently all property files that will be used have to be mentioned by name within the "org.e1.config.RootConfig.java" class in the method "propertyPlaceholderConfigurer".

Please try to find a way to load all existing property files without mentioning them by name.
Should indeed keep the possibility to use Springs PropertyPlaceHolder functions.

Properties should be useable like in "org.e1.config.PersistenceConfig.java" by @Value annotation.

NOTE that the java config classes (RootConfig as well) will be replaced by an XML configuration.

For XML-Configuration the Entry:

<context:property-placeholder location="classpath:.properties"/>

should work according to

http://forum.spring.io/forum/spring-projects/container/40350-context-property-placeholder-question

A subfolder can be defined as well e.g. "classpath:propertyfolder/.properties"

Currently I have no working VM so I wasn't able to verify that Solution.

It's now possible to load arbitrary .properites files from the webplication modules resource folder.
Loading properties from other modules is currently not possible.
This will be fixed asap.

Property files can now be loaded from different modules.
They are currently stored in a subdirectory named "properties".
NOTE:
There has to be at least one subdirectory. Loading property-files directly from the classpath's root will cause unstable loading!

Please check.

Property-file-patterns can now be specified in applicationContext.xml to enable advanced property-loading.
Property-loading was also moved to core module.

Tried to load properties from within a plugin. Works fine.
