Abstract
A system and method for system services customization using configured infrastructure properties through a system of property sheets. When a virtual container is configured with an infrastructure service, the preferred embodiment loads the plug of the infrastructure service and invokes the plug, providing it the empty collection of property sheets. The plug responds by populating this collection with corresponding property sheets. A user can then provide unique values for those properties, which are then saved with the other metadata. Each collection contains one or more property sheets and each property sheet contains one or more properties.
