How to deploy EAR from dependency ?

[Xavier NOPRE <xn...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I want to use Maven to retrieve some dependencies, like JAR, WAR, EAR (from
Archiva), and I want to deploy them to tests servers (Weblo) and to Archiva.

My problem is that I have to change some properties files in the EAR, with
my own properties, depending on target test server.

Is it possible to do that ? How ?

I think, perhaps, I have to "extract" the EAR, and then, repack it with wy
filtered properties .... ?

Thanks for your help,

Xavier

Please keep in mind that you pay A LOT OF money for having support on
WebLogic. I'd file a ticket with Oracle to get professional help on
this.

Hi Anders,

Thank you for your fast reply !

I'm not surprised with your proposition, but is there anyone who did this
(add properties out of the archive) with WebLogic ?

Thanks,

Xavier

Re: How to deploy EAR from dependency ?

Although it is possible to unpack, update and then re-pack, I strongly
suggest you try to change this behavior of having environment specific
properties file bundled with the EARs/WARs/etc. There has been
numerous discussion around this on this mailing list (search achive)
and best practice is to keep configuration outside of the archive. I
normally suggest reading the configuration from the classpath where
you then could put these config files in some folder of the app server
where they are added to the classpath (all servers should support
this), but it is also possible to read configuration from JNDI for
example.

When you do this, deploying is as simple as grabbing the archive from
the repo and copy/deploy to the server. No tweaking of the files in
the archive.
