Access to Wildfly through JNDI

Question

is it possible to access Wildfly properties (defined in standalone.xml) through JNDI? Like:

    <system-properties>
        <property name="MY_PROPERTY" value="some value"/>
...
    </system-properties>

and read it in java:

@Resource(lookup = "java:comp/env/MY_PROPERTY") 
private String property;

I don't understand why you'd want to do that. Could you explain? — James R. Perkins, Mar 29 '16 at 18:58
Why don't you create your own properties file, bind it to the WildFly's system configuration file (*standalone.xml*) and `@Inject` your properties into your beans as needed? — António Ribeiro, Mar 31 '16 at 22:16
In the same kind of idea as aribeiro's comment, check the use of Modules to hold configurations as described under https://stackoverflow.com/a/68771020/6585002 — Ceddaerrix, Aug 13 '21 at 11:31

<system-properties> are used to define environment variables and not JNDI variables. Define JNDI variables inside

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:naming:2.0">
<bindings>
...
<simple name="java:/env/MY_PROPERTY" value="some value"/>
</bindings>
</subsystem>

Now, you can read it as a JNDI.
