All:
context: I've been wanting to start some threads on simple best
practices and maybe get involved in helping with the wiki. From my own
work, this seemed as good a place to start as any.
--------------
I have a project that is pretty recently moved to Wonder. From
searching list posting and blogs I have seen mentions of different
configurations of Properties files that Wonder will discover and use
for database connection stuff, etc. Some of them I hadn't seen mention
of elsewhere.
I've recently started using Properties.<username> for doing dev work
and keeping passwords in there (and away from my code repository).
However, I've also recently seen whisper of a Properties.dev.
Two things I'd like to see:
1. a full concise list of what all the possible Properties files
(requiring Wonder or not) and also how the more experienced among us
leverage them. If it turns out there are some that don't have great
documentation I'll volunteer to update the wiki!!
2. It still seems to me that another Properties file must be inserted
at deployment for different db passwords, etc. How do the veterans
among handle this? I've seen some deployment scripts around but
haven't dug into that stuff yet. I still build very locally and deploy
very manually (scp). :-)
