Option to pass parameters to BELLS feature

The use of bells-1.0 makes it easy to develop and deploy a liberty extension, but often it is very wanted to be able to configure the module.

Currently the only way is to share environment variables, but the normal Liberty way is to put properties into the module from server.xml.

In our use, the configurasjon of datasource name is more convenient to pass as shown below. Normally the datasource configuration also is in server.xml.




datasourceName="jdbc/datasourceJPA"
/>



It could be even more convenient to use liberty variables, so the same variable is used to configure the datasource and the bell module as well:





datasourceName="${datasource}"
/>
