| Description |
|
We have found out that the properties we specify in web.xml are evaluated in "reverse" order:
<context-param>
<param-name>magnolia.initialization.file</param-name>
<param-value>
A/magnolia.properties,
B/magnolia.properties,
C/magnolia.properties,
D/magnolia.properties,
E/magnolia.properties
</param-value>
</context-param>
Are evaluated in the order E, D, C, B, A... (so that A/magnolia.properties can override properties in all other, "underlying" property files). |
