[OT] Configure wicket.configuration outside web.xml in Tomcat 6

Hi,

i'm trying to configure my wicket.configuration property without adding 
it to web.xml. I use tomcat 6.
Adding wicket.configuration=deployment in 
CATALINA_HOME/conf/catalina.properties was not working.
App starts in development mode (after tomcat restart / param not present 
in web.xml). Adding the property to command line is only the last option 
for me. Because i'm stupid i bet i will forget it somewhere :-).

Background is: If i add the property to web.xml
a) i have to change it for all production apps on server
b) and i have to deploy all apps twice in production. Firstly with the 
"default" configured web.xml (development) and then hotdeploy with the 
changed web.xml (deployment).

This leads often to perm gen space which is another problem (I know it 
and it's not part of this problem :-).

Maybe someone has a good plan on this issue.

Thanks
Per

Thanks Bas,

you solved my problem. I don't use tomcat within eclipse. I use the 
standard jetty server with Start class. I wasn't clear at this point.

But you brought me the light. I set "deployment" as 
configuration-param-value to my web.xml. And in Start class i set the 
system property "wicket.configuration" to "development". And it works.

Thanks and Cheers

Hi,

As suggested on the mailing list once, what I've been using for a while 
now is having "deployment" in web.xml, and adding 
-Dwicket.configuration=development to my tomcat command line from Eclipse.

This way you always package a production-ready jar/war/ear and can run 
in development mode locally.
