how to update sling.properties

Question

As per my requirement, I need to read some values from properties file when CQ starts. I'm thinking for a solution where I can update crx-quickstart\conf\sling.properties depending on my environment and then when CQ will start then it should read value from this properties file and then I can read from OSGI service. Any advice on how to read from sling.properties file?

Another solution that I'm thinking to create OSGI service which will read from some.properties under c:/somefolder/myprop.properties and then I use @Reference.

Please let me know which approach is better.

Why do you need to read properties when CQ starts? For what? Can you tell us something about the real requirements?

With this amount of information I would create an OSGi bundle with a service that takes such information not from a properties file but from OSGi configuration that can then be stored within the repository or at filesystem level under crx-quickstart/launchap/config.

sound like you need run modes and then use environment configuration nodes of the run mode for a service
