Hi Steve, As Drew mentioned, Unicon's been using a maven filtering-based approach for several years now based on work we originally did for an internal demo instance. I presented on this at the 2009 Jasig conference, and there are some slides left over from that here: https://wiki.jasig.org/d

My colleague Andy (Gherna) and I did a uPortal environment management clinic at the Spring Conference (in San Diego). I'll track down the slides and send you a link. Basically, we made some small modifications to the maven project layout to allow for multiple configuration .jars, then managed

Steve, The approach you describe -- maven filtering, environment-specific property files -- is one we have often used at Unicon, and with pretty good results. In fact I had worked up a proposal and a patch myself to add this feature to uP, though only against the trunk (uP.next). The main r

Hi all, I am wondering how people manage multiple build environments using the one source tree of uPortal. What I mean is that we have several developers as well as dev, test, uat and prod environments all with different details for the hostname, tomcat path and database connection details. And
