I have seen an empty mdo file in continuum-configuration ;-).
IMHO we can use it.

Is modello still a good choice, or is something more basic a better option?


My first idea was to read the file in :
${user.home}/.continuum/continuum-configuration.xml.

You certainly have to make sure that it's not hardwired into the home directory. It's a good default if you drop in a webapp, but it needs to be changable, and in the Jetty distribution I think one under conf/ makes more sense so it can stay with the rest of the configuration.

We have a lot of flexibility in archiva like this, but it's also too complex. I would avoid merging the two files, for example.


But to ensure backward comp, file from store if exists must win.

I would say if it's in the store, migrate it to the other configuration and then remove it. The new file would always win.

I still like commons-configuration as a way to source the information, especially since you can pull values from JNDI and system properties that makes it straight forward to overrides some configuration.

WDYT ?

Cool. What technology will you use for the configuration?

Hi,
If no objections, I can start to work on CONTINUUM-1252 because I need
it to fix CONTINUUM-1489.

I'm working on the build manager actually, but in few days, I'll migrate
to
a Spring mail sender [1], at the same time, I'd like to work on the
possibility to override the template without to modify the webapp
content.
Maybe I'll work on CONTINUUM-1252 too

I am not particularly fond of having another config file that we need

configuration page ? (didn't

check the data model yet, so I don't hope it needs db changes for
that).

We are planning to move the general configuration out to a text file so that it can be pre-configured (before you ever start the app.) [1]
The requirement to visit that web page for each new installation
makes it difficult to automate server provisioning.

I don't think that really affects whether to put the mail notifier
config on that page, just where the data will be stored (in
continuum.xml and/or in the database.)
