title: Enabling CDI Alternative based on environmental properties
body: <p>I know that it is possible to configure Alternatives in the "beans.xml" file that is embedded in the EAR to be deployed.</p>
  
  <p>The problem is that I use the same EAR for all the environments, and the set of properties or specific configurations are stored in some folder outside the package.</p>
  
  <p>I need to configure the Alternative that I will use based on an "external beans.xml" or some similar mechanism (something that is outside the EAR).</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you very much.</p>
