HOCON included java properties file contains special characters

Question

I need to include java properties file to my application.conf file. This properties file contains special (to hocon) characters like '*' or ':' in properties values. So I get a run-time error when application starts and tries to load configuration.

Is there a way to include properties file in hocon file with escaping this special characters? I cannot modify this property file.

Use double-quotes.

eg:

db.default.url="jdbc:mysql://localhost/test"

I have * characters in properties containing cron expressions, they cannot be escaped this way. – Alexander Camperov Nov 03 '15 at 12:40
