env variable is:
public final void setupEnvironmentPropertiesIfNeeded()
{
String address = (new StringBuilder()).append("#").append(Integer.toHexString(System.identityHashCode(this))).toString();
if(StringUtils.isEmpty(System.getProperty("app.env")))
{
LOG.info((new StringBuilder()).append(address).append(" Environment property app.env will be set to DEV").toString());
System.setProperty("app.env", "DEV");
} else
{
LOG.info((new StringBuilder()).append(address).append(" Environment property app.env already set to:'").append(System.getProperty("app.env")).append("'").toString());
}
if(StringUtils.isEmpty(System.getProperty("app.module")))
{
LOG.info((new StringBuilder()).append(address).append(" Environment property app.module will be set to FNT").toString());
System.setProperty("app.module", "FNT");
} else

}

Answer 1

It appears that your properties file is not getting loaded. Try explicitly loading the properties file using:
<property file="applicationContext-DEV-FNT.properties" />

Answer 2

issue can be solved by passing "-DappRoot=ECM" parameter and other required parameters.
