Beanshell/Groovy example - Change Local.properties permanently using script

Sometimes we need to change some of values defined for properties key in local.properties/project.properties. There are three ways to do it

1. Update via HAC
2. Update Local.properties
3. Update using beanshell/groovy script

If we use the first process, after server re-start, changes will go. So, the value will remain in the system memory till the server got re-started.

Here, will give an example how to change local.properties and changes remain even after rebuild.

Run the below script in the HAC script tab with "commit" on.

import org.apache.commons.configuration.PropertiesConfiguration;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.URI;
import java.net.URISyntaxException;


//The new value to be stored in the key/value pair in local.properties.
String changedValue = "NEW_VALUE";

//Key name in the local.properties
String propertyName = "test.properties.value";
PropertiesConfiguration config = new PropertiesConfiguration((new File('<Hybris Config Dir>/local.properties').getAbsolutePath()));
println config.getProperty(propertyName );
config.setProperty(propertyName, changedValue );

config.save();
