With spring you can externalize values like this in a properties file. You
can then use classpath loading of the properties file in your spring xml
which allows you to have a properties file in your jar that provides sane
defaults, and a properties file in the WEB-INF/classes folder that
overrides it. You can check out the config at:
http://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/3.2.8.RELEASE/spring-framework-reference/htmlsingle/#beans-factory-placeholderconfigurer
We are doing something similar to configure some custom plugins we are
working on, but with groovy and spring java config. For example something
like this (I didn't even remotely test this example conversion for syntax
or typos):
context.xml:
<bean
class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
<property name="locations" value="classpath:com/foo/myplugin.properties"/>
</bean>
<bean id="elastistorDataStoreProvider"
class="org.apache.cloudstack.storage.datastore.provider.
ElastistorPrimaryDataStoreProvider">
<property name="esmanagementip" value="${myplugin.esmanagementip}"/>
<property name="esapikey" value="${myplugin.esapikey}"/>
<property name="esaccountid" value="${myplugin.esaccountid}"/>
<property name="espoolid" value="${myplugin.espoolid}"/>
<property name="esdefaultgateway" value="
${myplugin.esdefaultgateway}"/>
<property name="essubnet" value="${myplugin.essubnet}"/>
<property name="estntinterface" value="${myplugin.estntinerface}"/>
</bean>
myplugin.properties:
myplugin.esmanagementip=10.10.171.180
...
