Description

Currently we have no way to override env-entry values supplied in spec deployment descriptors or annotations.

Minimally we need to be able to override them in geronimo plans, I think there's already a jira for that.

However people may want to set these from some kind of global configuration file for the server. We need to think up a way to do something like this.

One possibility – not sure how good it is – would be to have the geronimo plan configure jndii links to global jndi. Then you can put whatever you want in global jndi such as by reading in a property file using a gbean and binding stuff.
