RE: Overriding properties defined in TR.props
Use the tools supplied - ant in this case
If you put an entry in your deploy target like this
<filter filtersfile="${env.DEPLOY_FILTER}"/>
<copy todir="${dest}/conf" overwrite="on" filtering="true">
<fileset dir="${dir}/conf">
<exclude name="CVS"/>
</fileset>
</copy>
( you will have to monkey around with your own targets in build.xml,
there is alot of different ways to do this, this is just a simple
example )
where DEPLOY_FILTER is an environment variable indicating a path to a
java style properties file
that has entries like this:
PROP1=val1
PROP2=val2
then in your TR.props you can do this
database.default.driver=@PROP1@
database.default.url=@PROP2@
Just change the DEPLOY_FILTER environment variable when you build the
war file and voila!
Works great for me, I deploy to 4 different environments on many
different OS no problem. I have the filter files checked in to cvs so i
can deploy to any environment i have on demand with zero effort.

Subject: Overriding properties defined in TR.props
As my webapp moves from development to staging and production I have to
edit
TR.props to alter the values to meet the requirements of the particular
environment. In particular I have to adjust the database settings and
the
various parameters that tune a site for production.
At the bottom of the default tdk 2.1 TR.props there is a line that
includes
another properties file, flux.properties. This looks like a good way
for me
to make the necessary customisations to TR.props for each environment -
I
define myapp.properties to include just the properties that need to be
customised for each environment and include this in a standard TR.props.
The comment above the line where flux.properties is included cautions me
to
be careful as duplicate property name values will be replaced. The
actual
behaviour that I experience however is that duplicate names are not
tolerated and I must comment the properties out in TR.props in order to
get
my webapp to execute without dieing a horrible death at startup.
This is no big problem, but I was wondering if anyone else had
experienced
the problem and if there is a fix. <cardinal-sin-confession>I haven't
checked the mail archive or cvs.</cardinal-sin-confession>
I am curious as to how others deal with this issue - have you got a
better
solution that you would like to share?
Cheers,
Scott

Re: changing default URL

Hi there,
to avoid this problem in my app I didn't change my web.xml but simply
add an index.jsp in top of my webapp with this content:
<% response.sendRedirect("servlet/mypapp"); %>
I'm not sure it's best way, but it's working.....

I had the same problem with one of my app (no more images)
it seems that when you use url mapping, the portion of the url you type after http://localhost:8080/myapp/ is ignored
( if you type http://localhost:8080/myapp/images/the-image-you-want-to-display.gif , you always come back to your app
home page )
I didn't find the way to avoid that. If you find where the problem comes from, I'm interested.

You just add the following lines in your myapp/WEB-INF/web.xml file
(after the <servlet> section) :
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>myapp</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

hi all!
conventionally, I invoke turbine application using the following URL
http://localhost:8080/myapp/servlet/myapp
This can sometimes be long and somehow not very friendly.
How can I make do it in such a way that I can invoke it using only
http://localhost:8080/myapp

Chris,
I finally got around to switching to the method you provided below. This is
way better than what I was doing.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
