/**
 * A sample protocol bridge properties exit. This exit reads a properties file
 * that contains properties for protocol servers.
 * <p>
 * The format of each entry in the properties file is:
 * {@literal serverName=type://host:port}
 * Ensure there is a default entry such as
 * {@literal default=type://host:port}
 * otherwise the agent will fail to start with a BFGBR0168 as it must have a
 * default server. 
 * <p>
 * The location of the properties file is taken from the protocol bridge agent
 * property {@code protocolBridgePropertiesConfiguration}.
 * <p>
 * The methods {@code getCredentialLocation} returns the location of the associated
 * ProtocolBridgeCredentials.xml, this sample it is defined to be stored in a directory
 * defined by the environment variable CREDENTIALSHOME
 * <p>
 * To install the sample exit:
 * <ol>
 * <li>Compile the class and export to a jar file.
 * <li>Place the jar file in the {@code exits} subdirectory of the agent data directory
 * of the protocol bridge agent on which the exit is to be installed.
 * <li>In the {@code agent.properties} file of the protocol bridge agent
 * set the {@code protocolBridgePropertiesExitClasses} to
 * {@code SamplePropertiesExit2}.
 * <li>Create a properties file that contains the appropriate properties to specify the
 * required servers.
 * <li>In the {@code agent.properties} file of the protocol bridge agent
 * set the <code>protocolBridgePropertiesConfiguration</code> property to the
 * absolute path name of this properties file.
 * <li>To activate the changes stop and restart the protocol bridge agent.
 * </ol>
 * <p>
 * For further information on protocol bridge properties exits refer to the
 * WebSphere MQ Managed File Transfer documentation online at:
