Abstract

A method for configuring software modules that includes accessing a properties repository that includes a plurality of properties of the execution environment of the computer system. The method further includes generating a configuration file for each software module. Generating a configuration file includes obtaining a generator module defined for the software module, and executing the generator module to instantiate the configuration file for the software module. The generator module is configured to identify a property required for the configuration file, obtain the value for the property from the properties repository, and store the value for the property in the configuration file in accordance with a customized format required by the software module. The method further includes storing the configuration file for each of the software modules.
