production question : changing database instance and deployment

[valatharv]

We have a seam application as an ear, deployed on Jboss and pointing to Oracle database server.
We have moved schema/ tables to other oracle database server (Application server is same)

a) Do I need to build the application again ? OR
b) I can simply change xxxxx-dev-ds.xml (under jboss/server/default/deploy) and restart.

Other basic question:
There are 2 persistence xmls under resources\META-INF (persistence-dev.xml, persistence-prod.xml) one for dev and other for prod.

Where should I change so that build takes the production instance while creating ear and I should get xxxxx-prod-ds.xml

You do not need to rebuild the app, changing the -ds.xml file and restarting is all you need to do.

I am not sure about the second question, but it is almost certainly controlled by build.properties somewhere.

For the first question as Stuart mentioned all you need to is change the xxx-ds.xml in deploy folder and restart your jboss.

About your second question, it is controlled by an ant property. Default is dev. Look at line 7 and 8 in build.xml

ant -Dprofile=prod

This will rename your persistence-prod.xml to persistence.xml.
