Configuration questions

[Ke...@aib.ie]

Hi all,

Just two quick configuration questions:

1. In most of the projects I work on there are different sets of
configuration files that are used depending on whether the application
is in various stages of test/production and I'm wondering what the best
way is to handle these in regard to the Maven standard folder structure.
I'm guessing the "src/main/resources" folder is where they should go, but
when I'm running a build through Maven, how do I tell it to include one set
of config file and ignore the rest?

2. When setting up a folder structure of an EAR project containing a WAR,
should the EAR project folder contain the WAR (i.e. as a module) or should
the two projects be at the same folder level?

Many thanks,

Kev

You can specify separate resource sets for different profiles.

You can put both modules at the same folder level, add the webapp as a
dependency of the ear module, and configure the maven-ear-plugin
configuration.

e.g.
trunk/parent
  - ear module
  - webapp module
