How-to have different applicationContext.xml files

[ecastanedo]

Can someone tell me if there is a clean way to be able to load different applicationContext.xml files depending on the hostname?

I am running on a local, development, test, and production environment, but I only want to deploy one war file....

Can I subclass the spring servlet and have it choose the applicationContext there... or something similar?

Thanks in Advance!!!

Check out PropertyPlaceHolderConfigurer.

The idea is to have different property files for each environment.

In the 'locations' property, you can use the classpath: notation to specify which property files to use. This is all in the manual, check it out.

Thanks for the info. That looks like exactly what I need...

Still, I need to know how I would be able to load this on startup. The servlet and contextloaderlistener are loaded by my web.xml. I can do the grunt work obviously, but would I be correct in saying that i would probably need to subclass the contextloaderlistener?
