Hi, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in sharing how they use Maven
profiles in their DSpace development? We use them quite a bit in our
development process, to facilitate builds to developer workspaces, and staging,
and production. I'm thinking about this because I'm working on an upgrade to
DSpace 1.7, as well as testing some alternate builds of DSpace, so I'm changing
a few dspace.cfg files to work with our profiles... and it has me thinking that
I may be "doing it wrong"... the big thing I change is, in a stock dspace.cfg
file, I change all occurrences of:
{dspace
To
{default.dspace
So that our profiles can change those values. I also change other variables...
Here's an excerpt from our profiles.xml file, so you can get an idea of what
I'm up to:
<profiles>
<!-- The Oracle profile below serves as a trigger, to force the use of
Oracle info from
the profiles further below. Without it, default info is included
from the pom.xml
and all other profiles are ignored. -->
<profile>
<id>oracle</id>
<activation>
<property>
<name>db.name</name>
<value>oracle</value>
</property>
</activation>
<properties>
<default.db.name>oracle</default.db.name>
<default.db.driver>oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver</default.db.driver>
</properties>
</profile>
<profile>
<id>irsandbox</id>
<properties>
<default.dspace.dir>/dspacepath</default.dspace.dir>
<default.dspace.baseUrl>https://irsandbox.example.edu</default.dspace.baseUrl>
<default.dspace.url>https://irsandbox.example.edu/xmlui</default.dspace.url>
<default.dspace.hostname>irsandbox.example.edu</default.dspace.hostname>
<default.dspace.name>Example IRsandbox</default.dspace.name>
<default.db.url>jdbc:oracle:thin:@oracledb.example.edu:1521:data</default.db.url>
<default.db.username>example</default.db.username>
<default.db.password>foobar!</default.db.password>
<default.db.maxconnections>30</default.db.maxconnections>
<default.smtp.username>example</default.smtp.username>
<default.smtp.password>foobar!</default.smtp.password>
<default.assetstore.dir>/path/to/assetstore</default.assetstore.dir>
</properties>
<activation>
<property>
<name>irsandbox</name>
</property>
</activation>
</profile>
Anyhow, I'm curious to hear how you're using profiles, if you are. AND, if you
see something in that example above that could be simplified or is just
wrong-headed, please let me know. Thanks!
