Cocoon properties and Spring bean configurator properties

All other properties are either interpreted as Cocoon properties or Spring bean properties. The differenciation is done whether the property contains a "/" character. If so, it is considered as Spring bean configurator property.

Variables interpolation and includes

As this configuration file is managed by Apache Commons Configuration you can benefit from all the features it provides. The two most important ones are variables interpolation and includes.
