Update Documentation To Clarify Updating Configuration

[InfoSec812]

Currently, the documentation does not make it clear how to update the running configuration from inside of the application. I recently discovered from experimentation that the following appears to work:

vertx.getOrCreateContext().config().mergeIn(newConfigJsonObject);

Yes it works if the ConfigRetriever is using the Context config as ConfigSource. I agree that this should be tested and documented (there is no tests about it at the moment)

Is there another method to store the retrieved configuration into the default Vert.x Context? I know that I could use DeploymentOptions to store config for verticles I deploy, but how would I supply a config to a, for example, Service Proxy implementation which we do not supply a DeploymentConfig to?

[cescoffier]

No, as far as I know, there is no other methods. But the ConfigRetriever can use many sources of configuration. What are you trying to achieve?

[InfoSec812]

Well, I want to set the global configuration so that it is applied to any/all verticles without having to pass a DeploymentOptions instance. Most especially, when using Service Proxies where I cannot provide a DeploymentConfig.
