Well...you have to specify it somewhere...the struts-config.xml seems like a nice place...
or if your are using a deployment tool (ant??) you could make it do keyword subsitition on deployment... specifying data in a configuration file isnt hardcoding...its specification... Mikkel -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Turner To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 28-11-2001 20:44 Subject: Parameterizing Datasource URL This may turn out to be an XML question rather than a struts question, but here goes... I have a data source defined in struts-config.xml, including database URL. This has worked fine so far on my development machine, but now I want to deploy my application to a different (production) server with a different database URL. I'd like to use the same struts-config.xml file on each machine, so I don't want to hard-code the URL. So is there any way I can parameterize the database URL, so that it's not hard-coded in the config file? Thanks for any ideas.
