Deployment Plans

[anilarora]

I've been racking my brain on this problem and I haven't been able to solve this. 

I have a WAR file which has a web.xml that sets up the following context-param

  <context-param>

                    <param-name>javax.faces.PROJECT_STAGE</param-name>

  <param-value>Development</param-value>

  </context-param>

During development, this is correct value.  However, I want to deploy this on a production environment.  Is there a way to override this (and other) context parameters for a production environment without requiring me to modify the war file and the existing web.xml file that goes along with it? 

I've done this many times in the weblogic environment by using deployment plans and in Tomcat by fixing the context.xml, but I've not been able to find any documentation on how to do this in JBoss.

Thanks,

Anil

If this (and the related JIRA holds),  you might be able to use variable substitution

Thanks, guys...

That's pretty helpful...sort of...now I know that there's something available, although it's unfortunate it's on a version that's not quite available to the community.  I'm still using the community version 7.1.1, and I'd prefer not to build from source wherever I can help it. 

I guess for now, I'm stuck on this until there's a community release I can use.

For the JSF ProjectStage, you can also override the value in JNDI.  This is a more portable way to do it and it has the advantage that you don't need a system property.
