I was wondering how everyone tackles environment specific configurations in
OFBiz. We deploy the same codebase to multiple environments (local,
development, QA, and production) and we have different settings for things like
database connections, server settings, security settings, etc. What are the
best practices for maintaining different settings for each environment?
In other Java applications I maintain, I have an environment variable (app.env)
that I set a runtime with something like 'dev' or 'prod' which get used to load
properties files named 'settings_dev.properties' and
'settings_prod.properties'. In the code (or in a spring file) can can
substitute the ${app.env} with the environment name and it will load the
correct configuration. Is something like this possible with OFBiz
configuration/XML files? Is there a pre-baked solution already in place?
Thanks,
