Thorntail gives you the opportunity to easily configure your applications and your environments via different strategies, based on your background or internal policies.

You can use the following implementations:

• The thorntail-maven-plugin is used to set a specific fraction property (for example, the port for the default HTTP listener), as follows:

<swarm.http.port>8081</swarm.http.port>   

• The traditional Java properties that you can set when you launch your application can be used as follows:

$ java -Dswarm.http.port=8081   myapp.jar  

• The WildFly configuration file that you used in a previous implementation (or when you were migrating from a traditional Jakarta EE architecture to the microservice cloud native architecture) can be set with the following command:

$ java myapp.jar   -c standalone.xml  

• You can also use a YML file (as implemented in most cloud environments and PaaS), by using the following command:

$ java myapp.jar   -s project-production.yml
