#27 External Configuration file - JBJF Batch Definition file substitution

[adymlincoln]

We need a way to setup an external XML Configuration file with values that define Dev, Test, Perf, Prod properties.

These values can then be "coded" into the JBJF Batch Definition XML file as ${cfg:collection:item} and the JBJF Framework will "substitute" the Configuration value into the JBJF Batch Definition file prior to processing the JBJF Batch Definition file.

The cfg: properties should be available anywhere in the JBJF Batch Definition file.

How to pre-load the Configuration file?
How to ignore the "substitution" when there is no Configuration file?
The Configuration file should have a single area for "global" properties! As well as individual "environments" for Development, Test, Performance, Production!
