thanks for all your suggestions on this. it seems that an exploded
format is what most people deploy with just to make configuration
easier??
anyway, i'll think through some of these ideas.
much appreciated,

Sorry for the late response. You have received quite a few ideas, but I
did not see one quite like what we do.
We use the deployer utility to deploy our application and have
customized (just added a task actually) the build.xml file to make
system-specific changes to our war and then
jdbc config options, common file system info, http urls for external
sites, things of that nature. we have a complex multitenant system
that needs to be configured by our sysadmins.
granted this app is hosted and not deployed at customers, but
currently we are hosting it on tomcat and later

hi All,
If I were to deploy my application as a .war file, where do I place
I know that's typically where they go, but if the file is inside the
.war, how is the file going to be configured by the sysadming folks?
Surely we can't expect them to run
jar xvf web/WEB-INF/myconfig.properties myapp.war
Is there another location that is external from the .war file itself?
