Properties for dev and production

Question

I have a GlassFish/j2ee application, and I develop on one box, and production is a remote box. I have a function that makes files, and I need the files\' location to be diff

Answer 1

The easiest approach is to define a system property which specifies where the file system location for your data is. The production appserver would define one value (using java -D in the startup script), and your dev app server would define another value. Your application source would consult the system property value (using System.getProperty()) to discover the appropriate location.
