Same here. Our properties needs to be different on our test box and live box - and our testing standards dictate that the WAR/EAR file we deploy onto the test box must be identical to the WAR/EAR file that we deploy onto the live box. If you are doing things like putting your application onto a test server, then modifying the WAR file (by modifying the properties file within it) and then that deploying onto a live server... then you haven't really tested the same WAR file as you're deploying live.

Leverich Sent: November 1, 2005 09:01 To: Java Programming on and around the iSeries / AS400 Subject: Properties Files vs. War/Ear files All, If I understand the concept correctly, one should put their "softcoded" things into a properties file. This could be connection strings (if you're not using WebSphere data sources), Web Services addresses, URLs you access that are different between test and production, etc. Now, the properties file is "wrapped" into the WAR file that's deployed to websphere. So, once deployed you go into the properties file and make your changes? Am I good so far? If so, what's the process for deploying updates? If I re-deploy the WAR file then I'll overwrite the properties file, so I have to make my changes again? Is there a way to exclude the properties file from the WAR and have WS leave it on the server? -- This is the Java Programming on and around the iSeries / AS400 (JAVA400-L) mailing list To post a message email: JAVA400-L@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/java400-l or email: JAVA400-L-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/java400-l. ******************************************************************************** The information in this message is confidential and may be legally privileged.
