[midPoint] Use of constants in systemConfiguration object?

[Ivan Noris]

Hi Fréderic,

as a matter of fact, both config.xml and System configuration have some
advantages and disadvantages. For example any change in config.xml
requires midpoint restart, which is not the case for System
configuration. Also in case of multi-node deployment, any change in
config.xml must be done in all nodes, while change of System
configuration is repository-centric.

And you can always preconfigure your System configuration using
post-initial configuration so that it will be loaded when midPoint is
started for the very first time.

Best regards,

Ivan
