template directory location should be configurable (and outside the app
directory)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MAGNOLIA-2170
URL: http://jira.magnolia.info/browse/MAGNOLIA-2170
Project: Magnolia
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: core
Affects Versions: 3.5.8
Reporter: Dan Greening
Assignee: Philipp Bracher
Ideally, it would be possible to make the servlet container read-only, storing
the repository and/or template 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.
