Adding Properties to the Service

The init method for CounterService takes the Properties object as an argument. This means we can add properties to the service that are passed to the init method; see Creating the Service Class. You can add properties declaratively as shown below. (You likely want to name your properties something other than someproperty.)

<service enabled="true">
   <name>CounterService</name>
   <class-name>CounterService</class-name>
   <properties> 
      <someproperty>10</someproperty>
   </properties>
</service>

If you want to parse a more complex XML, you can use the interface com.hazelcast.spi.ServiceConfigurationParser. It gives you access to the XML DOM tree.
