Raul:
For most scenarios where you need to abstract the settings for a datasource
from the datasource itself, people have largely turned to two design patterns:
Service Locator and Dependency Injection
If you use Service Locator, your application servers retain the definition of
the datasource and you use a JNDI lookup to find it.
Dependency Injection (especially with something like Spring) can be helpful as
developers can have one configuration file for their environment (maybe even a
lightweight database like HSQLDB), but it is not the one you bundle or use in
production.
We typically do both -- using DI to keep the implementation and the datasource
definition separate, and the Spring configuration deployed to production uses a
JndiObjectFactoryBean to get the datasource from the application server.
While you could just use JNDI -- for maximum developer velocity, I prefer
avoidance at all costs.
Maven is not, in my opinion, a tolerable solution for the problem of data
source configuration management.
I think the pain you are experiencing highlights the truth in that.
Now, as far as distributionManagement goes --
We generally have a property in settings.xml that is placed in the
distributionManagement tag of relevant POMs.
This, unfortunately, creates a dependency on your settings.xml for a successful
build, but it's the only way to control what location to deploy to based on
profile -- at least not without yet another plugin.
That is to say:
settings.xml
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>qual</id>
<properties>
<my.deploy.path>scp://somewhere</my.deploy.path>
</properties>
</profile>
<profile>
<id>prod</id>
<properties>
<my.deploy.path>scp://somewhere.else</my.deploy.path>
</properties>
[....]
pom.xml
<distributionManagement>
<repository>
[...]
<url>${my.deploy.path</url>
</repository>
Hope that helps.

Subject: Re: profile and distributionmanagement
Thanks for the reply Arnaud.
Maybe my post has a lack of information...
We have several enviroments: developing, testing and production. Those
enviroments has its own resources, passwords, etc. People from developing
does (must) not know the settings of the application deployed (jdbc pool
password, app settings, etc). They just release the software.
Testing and production team have got a machine with continuum and a
settings.xml file with the property values that must be overriding by
filtering.
So now the problem is: is there any way to say to deploy files in differents
servers depending on the profile? The distributionManagement tag is not
available for settings.xml
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Raul
