Your right. I don't want to configure important properties during runtime. My aim is an application which is easy configurable by the sysadmin without the need for compilation. For example when the system is down some properties or some some resources (table decriptors for example) should be changeble, by the admin, who has no maven installed or the knowledge abaout zip and jar files, which are buried deep into the system.

ok.  Depends what the config does.  In my case, there would be an ugly crash

btw.  I think that should have been
\src\main\resources\META-INF\cocoon\properties\config.properties \src\main\resources\META-INF\cocoon\properties\dev\config.properties

packaging

Here is one way that seems to work.  Make a separate set of configuration
for development and the default for production.

\src\main\resources\META-INF\cocoon\properties\config.properties
\src\main\resources\META-INF\cocoon\dev\properties\config.properties
and run during development with

mvn -Dorg.apache.cocoon.mode=dev jetty:run

It is documented somewhere _if_ you can find it.  I suppose the same would
work in Tomcat, ect.

--------

But this has not solved all my problems.  I tried it with log4j.properties.
It works fine, provided the application is packaged in a .war file and run
from there.  But in that case, there is no rcl.

To have rcl, I run the block directly but then I don't know how to configure
log4j.
I have the same problem with sdocbook - entity catalog resolution.  It works
from the war file, not from the block itself.

Is there an easy way to configure these?

Thanks

Robin

Hi everybody,

in my cocoon block I have some configuration files in the resource/external directory, which I want to be accessible by the admin of the application even when I compiled the block, and put it as webapp into my Tomcat. Till now these files are packed correctly into the block jar but because of this they aren't really accessible for quick changes.

I have the same problem with my property file in META-INF/cocoon/properties.

All of this configuration files should be placed into webapps/webapp/WEB_INF/classes

Any solutions?

Thank you
Johannes
