David Jencks commented on GERONIMO-3954: ---------------------------------------- Fixed in trunk rev 758570, branches/2.1 rev 758581 I did not change the naming schema version since this change is backward compatible. We need to agree on the dev list whether this is the correct approach before closing this issue. > Allow overriding the value of an <env-entry/> from within deployment plans > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: GERONIMO-3954 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-3954 > Project: Geronimo > Issue Type: Improvement > Security Level: public(Regular issues) > Reporter: Janko Heilgeist > Assignee: David Jencks > > The provider or assembler of an JavaEE application can define environment > entries inside the standard deployment descriptor files like ejb-jar.xml or > web.xml with > {code:xml} > <env-entry> > <description>Some crucial variable!</description> > <env-entry-name>someVariable</env-entry-name> > <env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type> > <!--env-entry-value>content of string</env-entry-value--> > </env-entry> > {code} > Currently, the deployer of this application needs to modify the standard > deployment descriptor to set the environment entry to a value.
