Environment Variables Support in CEFConnector.properties

[jgcotta]

Currently, the CEFConnector-1.7.9.jar does not support the use of environment variables for configuration values in the CEFConnector.properties file. This limitation makes it challenging to manage configurations dynamically, specially if this tool would be containerized.

Proposed Feature:

Adding support for environment variables in the [CEFConnector.properties] file. This feature would allow users to reference environment variables directly within the properties file, enabling more flexible and secure configuration management. https://github.com/jkburg101/environmentResourceBundle

Example Use Case:

For instance, we would like to be able to define a property in the CEFConnector.properties file as follows:

akamai.data.requesturlhost=${AKAMAI_DATA_REQUESTURLHOST}

Where [AKAMAI_DATA_REQUESTURLHOST] is an environment variable set in the runtime environment.

If I tried it, I currently get the following error:

CEFConnectorApp:54- Error occurred. java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The required configuration parameter akamai.data.requesturlhost has an invalue.

I would appreciate any feedback on the feasibility of this feature. Additionally, if there are any recommended approaches or existing solutions that I might have missed, please let me know.

Thanks for your help!
