----------------------------------------
Summary: the option to overrule properties distributed as part of
the application (read external properties)
Key: ISIS-271
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ISIS-271
Project: Isis
Issue Type: Wish
Components: Viewer: HTML, Viewer: Wicket
Affects Versions: 0.3.1-incubating
Reporter: Minto van der Sluis
Priority: Minor
Currently property files can be read from a few sources. However in the current
situation the property files are mostly read from inside the deployed
application (insde the war file). In an enterprise situation it is practically
never the case that the properties are the same in DTAP (Development, Test,
Acceptance, Production) environment. For instance the database most likely is
different in any of these environment.
To support this it should be possible to override a minor subset of all the
available properties. In this situation external (outside war) and internal
(inside war) are merged together in one set of property files used by Isis.
(see also ISIS-262).
It is possible to achieve this using the classpath but that is quite a burden.
Using a special context parameter (in web applications) is the easiest and most
transparent solution.
