Hi, This is probably slightly off topic, but here goes anyways... I have an opensource FAQ web application (opensource.yourdecor.on.ca/faq1) which I would like to package up as a .war file to ease the deployment for people using the system on their own web servers. The thing I don't understand is that the configuration file for the application will need to be modified/customised for the site to which it is deployed (ie. The application needs to know a database username and password to use, and various other details). The question is how can a .war file be made to enclose this information? And if it can be done, how difficult is it to get ant to build the .war file? The only way I can think of it being done is to package the application up as a .war file then the user would have to unpack the file, make the changes to the config file and then pack up the .war file again. Is there any easier way of going about this that people know of? Thanks Alex.
