Eric discovered the related resource loader performance issue... he was running the profiler at the time:) The pearson system administrators both noticed and commented on the lack of easily accessible properties files and voiced their concerns about the move. I pointed out that they were easily accessible in the src, but they, in turn pointed out that waiting several minutes on a build for a property change was painful. Personally, I would prefer to see the property files readily available. If this is not to be a standard deployment, it would be nice if a production target were created which would make the properties accessible.

I was wondering what the theory for that is. As both a developer and system deployer, I find this needlessly painful. It's a lot easier if the file is unarchived and can be modified directly, without having to unjar the files and remove the jar file first. Lennard, actually discovered that the jar file access was taking a fair amount of CPU time as well. Is there some benefit to the property files being in a jar file, that I'm overlooking. All I can see, at the moment are several downsides, and would like to know if we can switch back to non-jarred propety files. Also, I think it would be useful, if we could look into a facility similar to Sakai's sakai.properties file, where you can potentially override properties without having to modify the original file at all. Anyone who has had to maintain propeties on a per machine basis will know the value of having a 'machine specific' properties file, that overrides the defaults for the 'generic system'. ---- Cris J H -- You are currently subscribed to uportal-dev@lists.ja-sig.org as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, change settings or access archives, see http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/JSG/uportal-dev -- You are currently subscribed to uportal-dev@lists.ja-sig.org as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, change settings or access archives, see http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/JSG/uportal-dev
