-P or –properties, would load the specified properties into jboss system environment

Above properties are loaded into system properties and were from composerinterfacesmgr.properties.
However, if using above parameter alone, it still wont put the properties into classpath, so below spring application context configuration wont work:
<bean class="com.bfm.app.jmim.conf.Configurer">
<property name="locations">
<list>
<value>classpath:xxxx.properties</value>
</list>
</property>
</bean>
To resolve, as for current, the only solution is to create new modules, and put the properties inside the module, and specify to depend on this module in jboss-deployment-structure.xml: https://community.jboss.org/wiki/HowToPutAnExternalFileInTheClasspath
<jboss-deployment-structure xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.1">
<deployment>
<exclusions>
<module name="org.apache.log4j" />
<module name="org.slf4j" />
<module name="org.slf4j.impl" />
<module name="org.slf4j.ext" />
<module name="org.slf4j.jcl-over-slf4j" />
<module name="org.apache.commons.logging" />
<module name="org.jboss.logging.jul-to-slf4j-stub" />
<module name="org.jboss.logging" />
<module name="org.jboss.as.logging" />
</exclusions>
<dependencies>
<module name="org.osgi.core" />
<module name="com.xxxx.xxxx" />
</dependencies>
<!-- <resources> -->
<!-- <resource-root path="xxxx.properties" /> -->
<!-- </resources> -->
</deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>
With above two together, the application would work. If only create a module, and put the properties into classpath, it might not work either. For example, log4j.xml,
<appender name="emailAppender" class="org.apache.log4j.net.SMTPAppender">
<param name="Threshold" value="DEBUG"/>
<param name="To" value="${smtp.error.recipient}" />
<param name="BufferSize" value="1" />
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout">
<param name="ConversionPattern" value="%d %-5p [%t] %c{2} (%F:%L) - %m%n" />
</layout>
</appender>
Above requires a system property or at least the classloader of log4j aware of. So the first change, specify the -P / –properties needed to put that properties into system environment.
