I have a GWT web application that I run on multiple Tomcat servers. It happens to need some configuration, such as database username and password, initialization data, etc. I would like to put all this info in a configuration file, but, I where should I put the file so that my application will find it?
* I cannot put the file in a hard-coded absolute path on my computer, because I run the application on several different servers, some are Linux and some are Windows, so they don't have the same folders. * I cannot put the file in a relative path, because this depends on the "current directory", and the current directory (as I found out) depends on where exactly I start Tomcat from. * I tried to use an environment variable to tell me where the file is located, but, I found out that the environment on Linux depends on who starts the Tomcat server - if it is started at initialization, it's the environment of the "root" user, but if I restart it manually, it uses my personal environment (Windows doesn't have this problem). I am sure I am not the first one that needs to configure a GWT application.
