Hi Mark and Romain,

thanks for your replies!

Is the resources.xml approach a portable solution? E.g. if we want to support 
Wildfly in the future, which approach is the most portable? Tomee.conf doesn’t 
sound too portable :)

Thanks and best
Fabian

Hi Fabian!


To give a bit more context:

Having actual db connections configured inside a WAR or EAR is usually 
something you'd rather like to avoid.
Having passwords checked in into your source repo, needing to recompile if you 
want to tweak the connection or credentials, etc All that is simply not a 
really good idea.

This problem is imo best solved by separating off all configuration and kind of 
'infrastructure' setup from your own appliaction source and provide it via the 
container.

TLDR; I recommend configuring DataSources and stuff in the container and not in 
your WAR: Just use /conf/tomee.xml [1].
And you can ofc also encrypt your passwords [2] so they are not stored in plain 
text.

LieGrue,
strub
