title: reading properties file from mule server location
body: <p>I have configuration file as</p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;db:oracle-config name="Oracle" host="${db.host}" port="${db.port}" instance="${db.instance}" user="${db.user}" password="${db.password}" doc:name="Oracle"/&gt;
  &lt;http:inbound-endpoint exchange-pattern="request-response" host="${hostname}" port="${glport}" doc:name="HTTP" path="url1"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Reading all these properties from the mule-app.properties file, which is working fine.</p>
  
  <p>Now the support team in production requires the content of the properties  should be  read from server location and not the mule-app.properties.  The location of the properties is {mule-server-location}/mydir/app.properties.</p>
  
  <p>1) Is it possible to read the properties file from this location?</p>
  
  <p>2) If not, how can I read some content of the file from the conf directory which is located in {mule-server-location}</p>
  
  <p>I have gone the documents <a href="http://www.mulesoft.org/documentation/display/current/Configuring+Properties" rel="nofollow">here</a>, it says to use spring context properties place holder, but when i start the local server filenotfound exception throws. In my studio, where do I keep app.properties file?</p>
