externalised config?

Hi all,

is it possible to externalise configuration for both exist-conf.xml and properties-local.xml, for example?
The advantage for this would be that the war artefact wouldn't need manipulation prior to deployment per environment.

cheers,
Lachlan

You can play with the configuration of the resource managers (in
web.xml) to add an external directory that will override what's inside
the war (including configuration files), see:

Hope this helps.

Exactly; and if you want to do this outside of the web.xml, to leave the latter unchanged, you can define those parameters in the app server configuration, for instance with Tomcat, adding inside the <Context> something like:

<Parameter override="false" name="oxf.resources.priority.0" value="org.orbeon.oxf.resources.FilesystemResourceManagerFactory"/>
<Parameter override="false" name="oxf.resources.priority.0.oxf.resources.filesystem.sandbox-directory" value="/path/to/your/resources"/>
