Hello,
could you give some advise about best practice on placing changeable files
under a web root? I guess in any webapp you'd like to place files in a
subdirectory of your webapp (maybe even in WEB-INF), like uploaded files.
But when you work with WAR files this is impossible, or at least not a
good idea, as you state. So where do you generally place these files?
Its a bad practice of placing modifiable files in the WAR for several
reasons:
1. it really makes it difficult to treat a WAR file as a simple
deployable unit. If you change a Java class, and want to simply drop in
the new war file following your application servers deployment process,
it makes a royal pain of dealing with modifiable files
2. This solution plain doesnt work on clustered app servers
With PSML files, first and foremost, place the files somewhere where
they will be backed up. You can use a full file system path in the
Spring configuration in the page-manager.xml. Please beware that you
have to change this location for ALL 5 handlers. Something like:
<constructor-arg index="3">
<value>${applicationRoot}/WEB-INF/pages</value>
</constructor-arg>
to
<constructor-arg index="3">
<value>/usr/local/portal-data/pages</value>
</constructor-arg>
Also recommend looking into the DB PSML option
