[jira] [Commented] (JAMES-1376) Config should belong to their
modules, shipping should only contain templates
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-1376?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13209795#comment-13209795 ]
Ioan Eugen Stan commented on JAMES-1376:
----------------------------------------
It could work in the sense that we can we can supply properties specific for deb generation (specific paths and names) and use maven resource filters to replace those properties. If I misunderstood please elaborate, but I think it's ok to have the config with the package for the reasons you mentioned. I hope this will make hot configuration reloading more accessible to develop since things will be more clear as to how the configs are spread.
About config files in Debian, the policy mandates that either they end in '.conf' and are in /etc/xx or otherwise are created at install time (or later) in /etc/xx. I will write some post-install scripts to symlink the conf files from /usr/share/james/conf to /etc/james. We should provide sensible defaults as basic install config files.

> Now that JAMES-1002 is completed, we can look at further OSGI working and also configuration shipping.
> The proposal is:
> - Move the default configuration to their own module (smtpserver.xml to smtp module...)
> - Have some templates (smtp.xml.template ) shipped so a administrator can override the smtp.xml with the provided template. We should use the files https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/james/app/trunk/src/main/config/examples. This has a benefits that these rich configured files will be used and reviewed along the recent changes.
> @Ioan, I wonder if the *.xml.template would work with JAMES-1343?
