Config file path

[MonTarO]

If I had to move the configuration to some more secure place on the file system other than the default path, Is there a way to instruct PLAY where is the conf file to override the default expected path ?

Thanks,

Hi,

I posted a similar question (not answered) : https://groups.google.com/d/topic/play-framework/Ud1fC4K-rN0/discussion

For me the best way would be a feature like "@include" but with a path which have not to be in the application's conf folder.
If you want, your application.conf file could be just one line : @include-absolute.conf=/path/to/conf/external.conf
( it would be like changing the default path to the application's conf file )
I think it's the best way to do it because it's not very different from the current @include feature (and perhaps it doesn't need a large effort to be implemented)

But no solution for the moment IMHO (I used a very ugly solution : reading the file in Application controller, ... and I have several problems sometimes with my solution, so I can't advise it for you)

I hope someone can help on this

Thanks Neoh59,

But including the path of another configuration file in the same directory or another, still did not solve the security issue.

The deployment issue I face requires namespace binding of the application.conf to a different path using WebSphere, 

any advices about how to implement this?

If it can help you, I created the #1461 ticket and submit a pull request.
