Hello Erik,
thanks again for your reply...
Well, maybe i was not clear in what i wanted to do..
here is explained..
i have in mydir\conf a file named openejb-conf.xml, which is as follows
.......
<Connector id="Default JDBC Database">
JdbcDriver com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
JdbcUrl jdbc:mysql://localhost/menagerie
UserName castor
Password castor
</Connector>
...........
I have also two other configuration files that contains same
informations (jdbc url).
IN addition, i have an abstract dbunit test which is supposed to get a
jdbc connection from the same database..
I am trying to run my app at home and @work, but i have two different
databases (to make things more complicated..).
So, between home and work i am trying to find a way to change as less
informations as possible to get my application running
the first step was to define maven.junit.properties for the above
jdbc data, so that i don't have to modify my java code.
And that worked fine.
But then i realized that i would need to change also those config
files mentioned above, so i tried to use the same approach (of getting
properties from project.properties) which obviously didn't work.
I tried to define an ant:property in my maven.xml for the two above,
but that didn't work either since those files are NOT copied into my
build directory..
Do you have any suggestion on how to achieve my goals (change or
define properties in one place and have them substituted in both
config files and java code?
thanx in advance and regards
marco
