    If you want to access properties from an external registry, you could create Java code that reads the properties at runtime from that registry.

Info
titleSUSE Linux

When using SUSE Linux, it ignores /etc/resolv.conf and only looks at the /etc/hosts file. This means that the server will throw an exception on startup if you have not specified anything besides localhost. To avoid this error, add the following line above 127.0.0.1 localhost in the /etc/hosts file.
<ip_address> <machine_name> localhost
