My webapp needs some application string variables for
configuration. For the moment, I hard-code them as class static
properties and compiled. But I'd like to know if there's any method to
define such variables in a text file, something like the global.asa in
ASP where we could simply write something like this withing the
application_onstart subroutine:
application("myvar") = "my value"
I like them to be withing text file because if even there's a need
to change config, I'd like to just launch a text editor, edit it and
start again! I don't want to install Eclipse or other IDE in deployment
server just in case we need to change some parameter and have to compile
everything. This is very inconvenient, non professional and stupid.
And the client would probably not appreciate this.
OK, I know I could write a wrapper function to parse that text file
and assign the correct values, but is there a simpler way? Is the
answer lying in the "web.xml" file? But its syntax seems quite
complicated that I've no idea what to begin.
TIA
