Specify location in standalone.bat file inside bin folder as shown below

set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dprogram.name=%PROGNAME% - DpropertyName.config.dir=Path_to_config

Answer 2

Adding a module and putting your property files inside the module is the way to go.

Ensure the following:

1. That your module directory is created correctly, such as $JBOSS_HOME/modules/com/company/package/main.

2. That you have a valid module.xml file in the directory. It should look like this:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.1" name="com.company.package">
       <resources>
           <resource-root path="."/>
       </resources>
   </module>
   

3. Your property file(s) is in the directory.
