Chris its an age old problem and something to be honest with you the
J2EE Servlet standard dropped the ball on .. the ability to pass in
parameters to a WAR file.
The ways around this are:
1/ Name all your datasources with symbolic names (mymaindb) and then
resolve that lookup on the /etc/hosts file on your various
production/staging/testing boxes.
or
2/ Look for a file in a given location outside the war deployment that
can then tell you application the information it needs to know
or
3/ Have it work out based on the host IP address where it is and make
decisions accordingly
For us, Option#1 has always been the route for us and never gave us any
major problems.

Hello,
Is there a way to package up an OPENBD war file, so when it's
deployed, it's environment aware? ie: if the war file is deployed on
a development server, the datasource points to the development
database.. deployed on production, it points to the production db..
Or is best to just keep different versions?
Thanks for any help,
-chris
