Description

Hi,

I've got a requirement that the WAR/EAR can't be modified from DEV to PRODUCTION.
So I need that the targetURI can be configured outside of the WAR/EAR.
For example, all the properties of the application is read from Linux FS : /apps/configuration/web/myApp.properties

Is it possible out of the box?
Can it be configured after the container startup? Any sample code to do that?

Project is not using SpringMVC.

Research direction

Begin by locating the servlet's targetURI configuration and startup initialization; the issue provides no file or test names. Verify whether /apps/configuration/web/myApp.properties can supply targetURI outside the WAR/EAR, including after container startup, and document a working sample or mark the behavior unsupported.
