In my current development environment we have 4 levels of deploying
apps:
- actual coding takes place on the developer's workstation
- daily builds are deployed to a development server
- testing builds are deployed to a testing cluster
- production builds are deployed to the production cluster
What I'm running into is that we have some interdependencies between
apps that run on different domains. An action by a user in foo.com may
redirect them to bar.com. What I would like is that when I'm viewing
dev.foo.com (an Apache virtual host on the development server) the
action would send the user to dev.foo.com rather than the production
foo.com. I dimly remember that in the Java world, Ant can be used to
change deployment settings like this. Has anyone done anything similar
in CF?
One solution I've been contemplating is a global config file that would
list local, development, testing, and production settings for each
website. These would be loaded into Application.cfm. Then when a script
needed to redirect somewhere it would pull the appropriate variable
from the loaded config file. I could either set the appropriate
configration data set according to a variable in Application.cfm, or
hard code the data set choice to be dependent on the machine name.
Any other ideas?
