i inherited a jboss servlet and was given charge with fixing what the other company screwed up. after reading my Learn Java in 21 days book, (im a PHP, c# programmer, not java) i fixed everything and got it going. ok great happy me. now i have another problem, this servlet is a database servlet that we sell and deploy in various customer locations. my problem is i can't figure out how to keep the file that contains the database connection information (applicationContext.xml) outside the war file so i don't have to compile and create a new war file for each customer.
here is the snippet of my build file that generates the war:
<target name="war" depends="compile">
<war destfile="${dist.dir}/myProduct.war" webxml="${basedir}/dd/web.xml">
<lib dir="${lib.dir}">
<include name="**/*.jar"/>
</lib>
<classes dir="${build.classes.dir}" />
</war>
</target>i notice sar distributions in my jboss install that had all the files under a sar directory, like jboss-hibernate.sar. can i do that with my program so i can edit those config files per customer? how?
thanks gals and guys.
