So you want to make calls from Java and set some properties file settings 
before making the call?  You should be able to make a bunch of these calls:

GrouperClientUtils.grouperClientOverrideMap().put("grouperClient.ldap.url", 
"ldaps://whatever");  

And then those settings (in that JVM context) will pre-empt whats in the 
properties file.  Let me know if it doesn't work.

Thanks,
Chris

Subject: [grouper-dev] Grouper Client custom configuration facility

Hi All,

I'm trying to link GrouperClient into an application & utilize the 
web-service interface to Grouper.  One of the issues I'm having is that 
GrouperClient seems to require its own .properties file with no obvious way 
to programmatically override anything about it.  All of the applications 
developed in my area use a centralized configuration-management solution 
which then is plugged into applications we maintain.  This gives us a single 
place to update settings as credentials / servers / services / etc change 
over time.  What I'm looking for is some mechanism to either tell 
GrouperClientUtils that after it loads the properties file but before it 
sends any data back to the caller to set properties X,Y, and Z to values P, 
D, and Q respectively, or alternatively, some kind of GrouperClient 
configuration class/interface which I can extend/implement.

Thanks

Dave
