Gregory Joseph updated MAGNOLIA-2170:
-------------------------------------
Summary: Webapp should be markable as read-only (was: template
directory location should be configurable (and outside the app directory))
Component/s: build
Fix Version/s: 4.1
(was: 4.0)
Generalizing the issue - we should be able to completely mark a Magnolia war as
read-only.
* JSPs are not useable outside the webapp - so this won't work for JSPs in
modules.
* Our Freemarker support now provides configurable template loaders, and we
provide a configurable LazyFileTemplateLoader, so Freemarker templates can
reside outside the webapp.
Todo : validate all other options, possibly improve - for instance we could
introduce a magnolia.home property. It should be configurable outside the
webapp (i.e as a context parameter or system property), to further improve on
the "single war, multiple configurations" feature.

> Ideally, it would be possible to make the servlet container read-only,
> storing the repository and template files (and any other writable files)
> outside the app directory. This would allow for "instant upgrades" by just
> dropping in a new WAR file. Today, I think, Magnolia really violates the
> principles of a WAR file, which is that it should be self-contained and not
> writable.
> I attempted to remove all writable/changable files and directories to outside
> the directory, and then marked the app directory read-only to diagnose
> problem areas. In Tomcat, it is possible to configure the
> magnolia.properties file location outside the app directory (and by changing
> that version of magnolia.properties, you can move the repository directory)
> out of the servlet container. However, you cannot relocate template files
> outside the app. In addition, the installation process makes changes to the
> contents of the app directory; kind of annoying.
> Would be used by many, I suspect.
