Okay,

I'm confused, and I know part of it is my own fault. I started development with Xcode, have transitioned to WOLips and am building the app as a SSDD/WAR.

I know there is more than one way to define properties for my application, but I'm not sure I understand it all, or which way is the "Best Practice". I've looked in the Wiki and found some information, but I'm not sure I understand completely which goes where and if they are (not) flagged as resources.

So, I'm going to go through the list and see if I understand everything.

1) Properties - this file is the place to put config for the startup of the application. Framework Properties files are overridden by application Properties files. Must be in the Resources directory, and must be flagged as a Resource. Where do I find a list of all the possible properties? I'm sure they're defined somewhere in the WO doco, but I can't see, to find it.

When you put a file in the Resources, it should be automatically flagged as a Resource. Same thing for the WebServerResources folder, where files and folders will be flagged as Web Server resources.

The only way I can get things to automatically be flagged as a Resource is if I flag my Resources directory itself, but then that flags my .eogen and .eotemplates as well, which I certainly don't need deployed to production. Do these files not belong in that directory?



2) log4j.properties - old format, replaced by log4j.xml

3) log4j.xml - the current format for configuring log4j. Must be in the Resources directory and marked as a Resource.

4) build.properties - used by Ant to define variables such as "project.name" Put in project root. Flagged as a Resource??

No, it should not be flagged as a resource. AFAIK, this file is only used by build.xml to load properties.


5) build.xml - defines the Ant build process. Put in project root, not flagged as a Resource??

Correct. It's only used when you "install" your app/framework, Eclipse/WOLips is not using this file for the incremental build made inside Eclipse.
