Openutils Deployment utils

Openutils-deployment contains a few utility classes that allow switching between different configurations in an application.

Openutils-deployment works by embedding configurations for different environments in the final application, and by choosing the correct configuration at runtime dependending on:

  • the server name
  • the webapp name (for web projects)

You can find a spring propertyconfigurer and a log4j servlet listener that follow this pattern.

The following example is a configuration snippet for it.openutils.deployment.spring.EnvironmentPropertyConfigurer: The ${env} variable will be replaced at runtime with the name of the current server and any existing configuration file wil be loaded.

<bean id="environmentProperties" class="it.openutils.deployment.spring.EnvironmentPropertyConfigurer">
    <property name="fileLocation"
      value="WEB-INF/config/${env}/environment.properties,
      WEB-INF/config/default/environment.properties,
      classpath:environment-${env}.properties,
      classpath:environment.properties" />
  </bean>
