A customer stores environmental settings in the deployment descriptors of an application. Whenever they promote the application version from testing to the production environment, they need to open the archive and modify the deployment descriptor. This process is against their security policy.
What approach should you recommend to leverage WebLogic features such that they do not have to modify the application archive for different environments?
WebLogic Server uses the standard J2EE web.xml deployment descriptor for defining a Web Application. Some applications also require the WebLogic-specific deployment descriptor, weblogic.xml. You use these deployment descriptors to define components and operating parameters for a Web Application. Deployment descriptors are standard text files, formatted using XML notation. You package them in the Web Application.
