Spring¶
Spring profiles¶
Spring profiles
are used as an easy way to have different application configuration options
active in different environments without a need to modify the codebase or
recompile, instead the configuration to be used is determined by the passing of
the spring.profiles.active
Java system property to the application (e.g.
by use of the -Dspring.profiles.active=<profile1>,<profile2>,<etc>
arg when starting the portal from the command-line).
Whilst this means that all anticipated configurations are packaged it does
permit a degree of flexibility so that, for example, a single package can be
used in both the build and deployment environment.
