how to change cas.properties location

[Chao]

how can I change propertyfileconfigurer to point to an absolute path?
becuz here it is relative to the cas folder.

    <util:properties id="casProperties" location="${cas.properties.config.location:/WEB-INF/cas.properties}"/>

    <context:property-placeholder properties-ref="casProperties"/>

Start your container with a defined system/environment variable that is: “cas.properties.config.location=/etc/cas/cas.properties”, etc.

You don't modify that file at all.

I edited this file in ubuntu: /etc/environment and added “cas.properties.config.location=/etc/cas/cas.properties”
but this doesnt work. I also read that environment variables containing dot cannot be defined in linux
what should I do?

If you are trying to externalize your configuration you can add something like this to spring-configuration/propertyFileConfigurer.xml

      
    <bean id="propertyPlaceholderConfigurer" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
        <property name="locations">
            <list>
                <value>/WEB-INF/cas.properties</value>
                <value>file:/etc/cas/cas-tier.properties</value>
            </list>
        </property>
    </bean>

Leave cas.properties where it is and create an new properties file with items that are more frequently changed or differ by deployment.

Here's our propertyFileConfigurer.xml it uses the environment cariable CASCONFIGDIR to load 2 different properties files which contain definitions for various things.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p"
       xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.1.xsd">
	<description>
		This file lets CAS know where you've stored the cas.properties file which details some of the configuration options
		that are specific to your environment.  You can specify the location of the file here.  You may wish to place the file outside
		of the Servlet context if you have options that are specific to a tier (i.e. test vs. production) so that the WAR file 
		can be moved between tiers without modification.
		WM NOTE:
		Locations are defined at runtime by Tomcat, look for the setenv.sh file, or,
		add this after the JAVA_OPTS= line in /etc/default/tomcat7, for example:
		JAVA_OPTS="${JAVA_OPTS} -DCASCONFIGDIR=/etc/tomcat7"

				<value>${CASCONFIGDIR}/cas.properties</value>
				<value>${CASCONFIGDIR}/wm.properties</value>
