You might check out the way I configured resolution of the
idp.properties file path in the shibboleth-idp-ext-cas project. The
Spring environment-based configuration system allows you to mix and
match multiple property sources: system properties, servlet context
params, JNDI, etc. I don't believe there's support for shell variables
out of the box, but should be easy to write a custom PropertySource
[1] to support it. Then it's up to deployers how to set the idp.home
property that points to subordinate configuration resources.
