Have only one application per java instance. Each with their own
application.xml, and whatever other things they need.
Another option is to put the configuration items into the web.xml of each of
your apps, perhaps as initialization parameters to a startup servlet. That
startup servlet can then put those parameters into a configuration object
that is specific to your application.

Subject: RE: how to set environment properties for an
app?
This is what I originally did, and it works fine if you have
just one copy of
the app running. What I need to do, though, is run two
copies of the app, each
one with a slightly different config, but system environment
properties apply to
all apps running within an instance of orion. I need a
per-app config, like what
would be provided in orion-application.xml or orion-web.xml,
only I can't find a
way to do this.

To do this, we pass in environment variables on the command
line to the call
to java that starts orion using the -D option
So
java -Dconfig=OUR.CONFIG.STRING -jar /opt/orion/orion.jar
You can then access them using
String configKey = System.getProperty("config");
Hope that helped.
