Attribute Definition Priority

You can specify attributes in different ways, which can cause conflicting definitions. Applications can be configured programmatically, and that has priority over other settings.

In case an attribute is defined in more than one place, the first source in this list is used:

• Programmatic configuration
• Properties set at the command line
• current-working-directory/geode.properties file
• product-dir/defaultSystem/geode.properties file
• defaults

The geode.properties files and programmatic configuration are optional. If they are not present, no warnings or errors occur. For details on programmatic configuration through the Properties object, see Defining Properties Programmatically.
