Following the tutorial
http://coheigea.blogspot.de/2013/07/apache-syncope-tutorial-part-i_26.html I
was able to get Syncope running using Postgres as backend. Unfortunately it
required adapting persistence.properties before building the war file. Is it
possible to find a way to configure Syncope persistence at runtime? This way
the war file could be used as distributed and we could still configure the
backend.
Not sure if this helps in your case, but we have modified syncopeContext.xml
in such a way that persistence.properties is read from an external file
rather than from the classpath. This can be achieved by replacing
<value>classpath:persistence.properties</value>
by
<value>file:${syncopeConfigPath}/persistence.properties
The path to the configuration file can then be set via the system property
syncopeConfigPath when starting the application server.
This way, we can e.g. transport the .war-File from test to production without
modification.
Nice trick, Guido ;-)
