profile based component configuration

Sory for the post. Again:

I have an application that is deployed on many servers (A, B, C).

my compunents.xml has a section where i configure component X like this (on server A):

<component name="XComponent">
 <property name="pr1">5</property>
 <property name="pr2">6</property>
 </component>

on another server (B) tis section has to look like:

<component name="XComponent">
 <property name="pr1">2</property>
 <property name="pr2">3</property>
 </component>

Is there a posibility to include an xml into components.xml? Because the rest of the file is equal between servers.

I can create a components-A.xml and components-B.xml and at build time to make the copy of the rigth file into components.xml but this makes modification of components.xml difficult (because you have to maintain the common area in many places). Is there a way to make a

<include file="components-A.xml" />

in components.xml ?

Or is there another nicer mechanism to configure XComponent to be profile(server) specific?

Check out
http://docs.jboss.com/seam/2.0.0.GA/reference/en/html/xml.html

Sometimes we want to reuse the same components.xml file with minor changes during both deployment and testing. Seam lets you place wildcards of the form @wildcard@ in the components.xml file which can be replaced either by your Ant build script (at deployment time) or by providing a file named components.properties in the classpath (at development time). You'll see this approach used in the Seam examples.

The good way is to use a properties file which is instantiated on compilation.
