Hi Jeff,
first of all, i would like to ask you to continue this debate on Maven
Users List <[email protected]>, since this mailing list is hosted
on "site" (my machine) with very lousy (adsl) uplink and is not meant to
be public :) It is my mistake that on Proximity site I listed this
mailing list.
Well, your question regards mere the J2EE webapp then Proximity itself.
It is possible what you asking, but this way you will VIOLATE the J2EE
guidelines. Nevertheless, as long as you use some "relaxed" container
(eg. Tomcat and not JBoss) everything should be fine (i think, never
tested it actually).
Since in web.xml you cannot reference file outside the webapp root, you
should create a Spring "stub" application context, which will in turn
include the "real" application context. Since this configuration is done
by Spring, not the servlet container it would be possible to achieve it.
I modelled this by placing files in my $HOME/tmp. Files attached.
Steps to achieve this:
1. Move /WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml to where you want and rename it
to proximity.xml (in my case $HOME/tmp)
2. Move /WEB-INF/proximity.properties to be beside proximity.xml (in my
case $HOME/tmp)
3. Set up both files as you want, use SCM on it etc.
4. I attached a Spring "stub" context, drop it in
/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml REPLACING the original one.
5. Configure the stub to point where your proximity.xml is.
And that's it!
The bad thing about this config is that in case of path modification you
have TWO places to update: one in /WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml "stub"
and one in proximity.xml. But since you have "taken-out" the config from
webapp, you could simply drop the proximity properties file, replace and
maintain the proximity.xml file only by inserting values directly and
remove the "propertyConfigurer" bean from proximity.xml. The properties
file in this case is not a benefit.
Have fun
