--------------------------------------
Assignee: David Jencks
> Allow overriding the value of an <env-entry/> from within deployment plans
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: GERONIMO-3954
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-3954
> Project: Geronimo
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Security Level: public(Regular issues)
> Reporter: Janko Heilgeist
> Assignee: David Jencks

> The provider or assembler of an JavaEE application can define environment
> entries inside the standard deployment descriptor files like ejb-jar.xml or
> web.xml with
> {code:xml}
> <env-entry>
> <description>Some crucial variable!</description>
> <env-entry-name>someVariable</env-entry-name>
> <env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
> <!--env-entry-value>content of string</env-entry-value-->
> </env-entry>
> {code}
> Currently, the deployer of this application needs to modify the standard
> deployment descriptor to set the environment entry to a value. This is a
> problem, if e.g. the archive containing the descriptor file was signed by the
> provider and is supposed to be used unmodified. It would be a major
> improvement, if the Geronimo deployment plans would allow setting or
> overriding the values of these entries.
> This seems to have been the case in previous versions of Geronimo. On August
> 24th, 2003 the schema
> incubator-geronimo/modules/core/src/schema/geronimo-ejb-jar.xsd contained the
> following elements:
> {code:xml}
> [...]
> <xsd:element name="env-entry">
> <xsd:annotation>
> <xsd:documentation>
> Configuration for an environment entry. Normally an env-entry
> is fully configured by the assembler in the standard ejb-jar.xml
> deployment descriptor. However, the deployer can specify a
> value here if there was no value specified in ejb-jar.xml, or
> if the deployer wants to override the value specified there.
> </xsd:documentation>
> </xsd:annotation>
> <xsd:complexType>
> <xsd:sequence>
> <xsd:element ref="env-entry-name" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/>
> <xsd:element ref="env-entry-value" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"/>
> </xsd:sequence>
> </xsd:complexType>
> </xsd:element>
> [...]
