runtime configuration

[vvchoy]

Hi,

Currently in our project, the way we handle application (ie. SU) runtime configuration is as follows:

• create a property file residing in the same directory as java source file (of our SU)

• have some libraries that access the properties defined in the file during runtime.

this is pretty rigid. So I am wondering how other projects handle their runtime configuration ?

• externalization through spring PropertyPlaceHolderConfigurer ?

• in term of packaging and deployment:

- do they get packaged in the SU, and then deployed to a different deployment directory ?

Appreciate any insights in this area .... Thanks.

Hi,

I've used the PropertyPlaceHolderConfigurer,

e.g.:

and then add a myconfig.properties file containing broker.address to the ESB's conf directory as this is automatically on the ESB's classpath.

Hope this helps,

Seán.
