Updating S-RAMP Artifact content

[giorgimode]

Is it possible to update properties file inside the S-RAMP jar artifact for various deployment environments: test, production etc.

I think the preferred approach to managing environment-specific configuration is to make sure it is deployed external to (along side) the JAR.  This way the JAR itself is portable across all runtime environments.  The configuration might be a properties file that gets deployed to the target platform's config directory, with different settings for the different environments, and is simply deployed first (also managed within s-ramp/dtgov).

That said, the deployment workflow is fully customizable, so you could implement a custom task in the workflow to insert the config into the JAR.  Another possibility with the next release is to implement a custom deployer which would do that work prior to deploying to the target environment.

Good to know. When should we expect the new release?

We're doing our best to get it out this week!  We're running up against some issues when running on the Fuse platform, but I think we're closing in on it.

In case you didn't see the announcement, the new release (1.4.0.Final) came out a few days ago.  You can find it here:

I have been working on it already. Thanks.
