Description

Ofbiz reads properties from either a properties file or the entity:SystemProperty. The way it works previously is that ofbiz reads from the entity:SystemProperty first and if there is no value associated with the target propertyname, it would then locate the value from the relevant properties file.
In other words, if there is a database entry for a property, the database entry should override the associated properties file.
The issue is that if a database entry exist but the value is empty, it would look for a value from the properties file. It should not do so. If a database entry exists for the propertyname of interest, the value should be taken from the database even if it holds an empty value.
