How to define my own properties ?

Hello

I try with Orbeon 4.0.1 to define my own properties.
When I declared the property in the properties-local.xml file, I can read it in a xpl file.
But when I declared it in a file named properties.xml (always in the directory config), I can not read it.

How can I make it ?

Thank You.

Julien,

You have to use either properties-local.xml or the associated run mode files (properties-local-dev.xml or properties-local-prod.xml). You can't just use a file name of your own choosing.

Hello,

If I try the properties.xml file name, it's because of the wiki : http://wiki.orbeon.com/forms/doc/developer-guide/configuration-properties#TOC-Defining-your-own-properties

My need is to provide a property file customizable by the customer. I am forced to use the properties-local.xml file ?

In the wiki, it says that you can use Xinclude, how can I do ?

Thank You.

Julien,

I see. You can use XInclude in properties-local.xml:

<properties xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude">
<xi:include href="my-properties.xml"/>
</properties>

And my-properties.xml needs to be present at the same level.

But you can't use properties.xml as a name, because that's already
used by Orbeon Forms behind the scene.
