Re: [Hawkular-dev] Installer
For the server, I think it would be extremely helpful to have a
dedicated
property file for all the typical configuration. By typical, I mean, the IP
to the cassandra cluster, the IP to the Keycloak server, enable/disable the
internal agent with username/password...
Does anyone know how we can keep the configuration.xml files but point to
properties in a different file ? I think it would be extremely helpful for a
user and an installer to just have to edit a simpe and documented property
file rather than messing around with the standalone.xml file that change
over time.
This is actually how RHQ started out. We have one single rhq-server.properties file with
ALL the custom configuration settings in there. You start the server by passing in
"-P rhq-server.properties". Of course RHQ has a custom "rhq-server.sh"
that called standalone.sh with that parameter passed in :) But I agree it would be nice to
have a single .properties file with everything in there. It's a one-stop-shop where
the user only has to remember one file to edit to configure the server. Just have to
remember to pass it in via -P. We could edit standalone.conf during the build phase so it
passes that -P in by default.
