Hi all- We are deploying ear files for a project. The war inside of the ear contains a config.properties file which dictates most of the settings. I build with a custom ant script on windows, and deploy via a samba directory to WebLogic 6 or 7 (depending on app) on a Solaris 9 platform.
Is there a good way to change the properties file, somehow - without rebuilding the ear with my ant script every time? For example, the J2EE app talks with a C++ server on a given port (i.e. 14000) and depending on which server I deploy to, that port will be different. I can rerun the script easy enough, I would just prefer not to. Thanks Josh

I can probably just deploy the ears exploded, since this is the development environment - any other thoughts?
You can change the properties file in runtime , by placing the properties file outside the ear in solaris... Add this code in your run.bat of your AppServer set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dprogram.name=%PROGNAME% -Dlfs.home=D:\lfshome here D:\lfshome is the path where your property file lies.
