Hmmm...i followed the instructions at that site...the difference though is i'm using
Jetspeed 1.4b4.
I included trubinresource.properties at the end of the file and i had no problem
whatsoever making that work.
Try this (just a suggestion..order in my property file and analysis from my property
file):
Make sure that the order in which you override the property files is this (if you are
overriding any values in these files). Also within each property files make sure you
are overriding the property key in the correct order. For e.g. in TRp file property
key B after A then in your file too property key B should be overriden after A has
been overriden:
# T u r b i n e R e s o u r c e s . p r o p e r t i e s :
# JetspeedResource.properties
# JetspeedSecurity.properties
My web.xml looks like this:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>
jetspeed
</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>
org.apache.turbine.Turbine
</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>properties</param-name>
<param-value>
WEB-INF/conf/my.properties
</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>resources</param-name>
<param-value>org.apache.jetspeed.services.resources.JetspeedResourceService</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>logging</param-name>
<param-value>org.apache.jetspeed.services.logging.JetspeedLoggingService</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>

I am having difficulties getting the properties overriding to work properly.
My web.xml is updated according to the instructions below and I know it is
reading the file. The problem is that no matter where I include the
TurbineResources.properties (at the top or bottom of my.properties), its
values always override the values in my.properties. This is exactly opposite
to what I want.
I thought that perhaps by including TurbineResources first and specifying my
values afterwards, the values in my.properties file would overwrite the
values in TurbineResources, but it is not so. The comment in the example
my.properties however implies that this is true:
# The full path name to an additional properties file. Properties in
# this file will be included in this property set. Duplicate name
# values will be replaced, so be careful.
The only way I could get Jetspeed to recognize my values is to comment out the
values in JetspeedResources (included by TurbineResources). Of course, this
seems to defeat the purpose of the custom properties file altogether.
I am using Jetspeed 1.4 final. Any ideas why this would happen or what I'm
doing wrong?
Thanks,
Brian
