### Passing configuration to a verticle

Configuration in the form of JSON can be passed to a verticle at deployment time:

    JsonObject config = new JsonObject().put("name", "tim").put("directory", "/blah");
    DeploymentOptions options = new DeploymentOptions().setConfig(config);
    vertx.deployVerticle("com.mycompany.MyOrderProcessorVerticle", options);

This configuration is then available via the `Context` object or directly using the `config` method. The configuration is returned as a JSON object so you can retrieve data as follows:

    System.out.println("Configuration: " + config().getString("name"));

### Accessing environment variables in a Verticle

Environment variables and system properties are accessible using the Java API:

    System.getProperty("prop");
    System.getenv("HOME");
