[Building Sakai] CAS URLs in properties file

[Santhanam V]

Dear Steve,

        Thanks for your quick reply. 

        Our use case is that our University has four campuses at geographically different locations. We are planning to give customized Sakai as an installer package. 

       Since we have separate CAS Servers for each of the campuses, we have to specify different CAS Server URLs in web.xml for respective campuses. So, we thought that if we have a way to specify the CAS server URL at the installation time in the installer and get it written to a .properties file, which can then be used by Sakai-login-tool's web.xml.

      As you said,  we can do with Maven also. But then, we need to create a separate installer for each campus. 

      Please kindly help us. 


Thank You

:-)

With Regards
Santhanam

  I'm not sure this is possible, the CAS integration is a servlet-filter so needs to be configured in web.xml for the servlet you want filtered, ie the login tool.


  You could, however, add the properties files and use placeholder values in the web.xml in the source code and then tell Maven to replace the placeholders in web.xml with the real values. But it would still be done at build time.


  What's your use case for this, there might be another way to achieve what you need.


  cheers,
  Steve

    Dear Friends,

            Is it possible to read CAS server URLs from a .properties file,
    instead of hard coding in the URLs in web.xml ?

           Please kindly help us.


    Thank You
