properties expansion in domain.xml
Hi Folks,
I have added a small change in the conf package that allows the use
of ant like variable expansion in the domain.xml. (As proposed in issue 31335)
Now you can write some thing like
<parameter name="path">${a.system.property}/bla</parameter>.
The webdav servlet sets a system property "org.apache.slide.webapp.rootpath"
that contains the path where the webapp is installed. Using this you
can place the file store inside the webapp directory, e.g.
<nodestore classname="org.apache.slide.store.txfile.TxXMLFileDescriptorsStore">
<parameter name="rootpath">${org.apache.slide.webapp.rootpath}/store/metadata</parameter>
<parameter name="workpath">${org.apache.slide.webapp.rootpath}/work/metadata</parameter>
<parameter name="defer-saving">true</parameter>
<parameter name="timeout">120</parameter>
</nodestore>
I think this would be a good default configuration. The place of the store
no longer depends from the directory where you start your tomcat.
Currently only system properties can be used. Do you think that
we need any other source of properties to be used?
Regards, Stefan

Re: properties expansion in domain.xml
Posted by Stefan Lützkendorf <lu...@apache.org>.
Well, I now updated the properties expansion feature.
Now you can define properties in the domain.xml as children of the slide
element.
<slide>
<property name="datapath">/user/local/files</property>
<property name="store1">${datapath}/store1</property>
...
</slide>
additionally properties defined in the slide.properties file are
expanded too.
properties have the folloging precedence
1. property defined in domain.xml
2. property defined in slide.properties
3. system property defined by -D
I commited a modified Domain.xml that makes usage of this and places the
filestore in the webapp directory by default.
Cheers, Stefan

You da' man!
I think being able to define custom properties in Domain.xml would be
useful. Common paths, database usernames, parameters shared among
multiple stores... I can foresee several potentially useful scenarios.
I think you hit the most pressing need, though.
