Re: How best to deploy ( different config ) to different machines
I was thinking of exactly teh same when I wrote it ( the name of the particular config file to be chosen is stored in JNDI. Using the application event listener, teh particular file is preread when app comes online ) But I wanted to ask if this is really how most well maintained projects do it ? Does maven have any tricks/standard way to deploy teh config file ? --sony On Thu, Nov 19, 2009 at 7:28 PM, Jesse Farinacci jie...@gmail.com wrote: Sounds like a job for JNDI.

Re: How best to deploy ( different config ) to different machines
This is a generic Java question. It doesn't matter if you use Maven or, for instance, Ant to build your Java EE app. Read the properties file from class path. Then make sure that the properties file is on the class path in the container (but outside of the ear), in each environment. In JBoss for instance, one way is to put the properties file in the conf folder. However, you could also read config values from JNDI. Then make sure that the JNDI tree is populated correctly for each environment. /Anders On Fri, Nov 20, 2009 at 01:32, Sony Antony sony.ant...@gmail.com wrote: I was thinking of exactly teh same when I wrote it ( the name of the particular config file to be chosen is stored in JNDI.
