I have a project that is pretty recently moved to Wonder. From
searching list posting and blogs I have seen mentions of different
configurations of Properties files that Wonder will discover and use
for database connection stuff, etc. Some of them I hadn't seen
mention of elsewhere.
I've recently started using Properties.<username> for doing dev work
and keeping passwords in there (and away from my code repository).
However, I've also recently seen whisper of a Properties.dev.
Two things I'd like to see:
1. a full concise list of what all the possible Properties files
(requiring Wonder or not) and also how the more experienced among us
leverage them. If it turns out there are some that don't have great
documentation I'll volunteer to update the wiki!!
2. It still seems to me that another Properties file must be
inserted at deployment for different db passwords, etc. How do the
veterans among handle this? I've seen some deployment scripts around
but haven't dug into that stuff yet. I still build very locally and
deploy very manually (scp). :-)
<using Wonder>
I define in the application Properties file:
runtime.config.dir=Properties
runtime.config.name=
and:
er.extensions.ERXProperties.OptionalConfigurationFiles=(\
@@runtime.config.dir@@/log4j@@runtime.config.name@@.properties,\
@@runtime.config.dir@@/jdbc@@runtime.config.name@@.properties,\
@@runtime.config.dir@@/runtime@@runtime.config.name@@.properties,\
@@runtime.config.dir@@/runtime@@runtime.config.name@@.properties,\
../instance.properties
)
For deployment simply tell JavaMonitor:
"-Druntime.config.dir=../../Properties"
For eclipse launch targets, I can switch between test, nightly backup
db environments setting:
-runtime.config.dir "../../Properties"
-runtime.config.name "test" or "dev" or...
