Mangos behavior can be customized by numerous configuration parameters that are stored in a central configuration property file.
Because the file is read by Springs PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer
in can be either a simple line bases property file, or an XML property file (see java.util.Properties fore more information on the format).
Also all properties can be overridden via Java system properties (-Dproperty=value). The default location for the configuration file expects it on the classpath root (classpath:/mango.properties) and can be overidden using the system property (-Dmango.config.file=/tmp/myownfile.properties).
To get an overview over the current running configuration an overview ist dumped to system out on Springs application content startup.
