I found ${variable} substitution to work well for me in the past (Jetspeed
1.3x). The resource service supports this for string properties only so I
subclassed the resource service for other data types. For each variation, I
would define a site.properties file containing properties that vary between
sites. For example:
site-TEST.properties:
================
_database.default.driver=org.hsql.jdbcDriver
_database.default.url=jdbc:HypersonicSQL:${webappRoot}/WEB-INF/db/jetspeed
// this does not currently work in Torque.properties
_database.default.username=test
_database.default.password=test
_database.default.maxConnections=3
site-PROD.properties:
================
_database.default.driver=org.hsql.jdbcDriver
_database.default.url=jdbc:HypersonicSQL:hsql://localhost
_database.default.username=sa
_database.default.password=
_database.default.maxConnections=10
Torque.properties:
==================
include=site.properties
database.default.url=${_database.default.url}
database.default.url=${_database.default.url}
database.default.username=${_database.default.username}
database.default.password=${_database.default.password}
database.default.maxConnections=${_database.default.maxConnections} // this
does not currently work
I would have copy the proper site-*.properties file to site.properties
during the build process. The same applies to tr.props and jr.pros. The
downside is that you have to modify Torque/tr/jr.properties but for me
benefits outweigh the additional work.
I am currently trying to port this method into Jetspeed 1.4 but I'm running
into some issues. Once I have this worked out, I'll contribute the method if
anyone is interested.
