In my tomcat deployed app I use the element in META-INF/context.xml to override the environment value in web.xml. This will be copied to the conf/engine-name/host-name/mywebappname.xml on the first deployment. The administrator can then amend the file to provide the real value he wants.
In JBoss I cannot get this type of process to work. I have read a number of forums and jira issues referring to using context.xml and I have moved the file to WEB-INF. I have added additional xml to the context.xml file to make sure it is being parsed but the environment variable is not overriding the value in web.xml.
Here is my file;
I have tried true and false for the override.
My questions are, will JBoss allow the web.xml env element (such as)
<env-entry>
A Test variable
<env-entry-name>TestVariable</env-entry-name>
<env-entry-type>java.lang.String</env-entry-type>
<env-entry-value>TestValue</env-entry-value>
</env-entry>
to be overridden in the context.xml as per tomcat.
secondly how can I get the context.xml to be externalised from the war file so it is not overwritten upon subsequent deploys of the war file.
