Environments & Configuration

Application settings may vary depending on selected environment.

Available environments are listed in src/main/resources/env:

resources
  ├─env
     ├─ dev
     ├─ dv
     ├─ qa
     ├─ prod
     └─ qf

Each environment directory contains a set of files used to configure:

• Backend connection parameters (env/${env}/pogues-bo.properties)
  • Persistence backend with postgresql LDAP
• External services URIs
• Logging config (env/${env}/log4j2.xml)

Define environment on startup:

export CATALINA_OPTS="-Dfr.insee.pogues.env=qa"
${CATALINA_BASE}/bin/startup.sh

This will start a tomcat instance using properties defined in src/main/resources/env/qa/pogues-bo.properties

Create a custom environment

Subsequently, defining a new "foo" environment can be done by:

• Creating a foo subdirectory in src/main/resources/env
• Copying files from another environment and applying changes that suit the foo environment
• Start tomcat with -Dfr.insee.pogues.env=foo as a VM argument

If no value has been defined server will start using dv as an environment
