I have a Java/Spring web app that I want to deploy to a remote server, possibly an Amazon ec2 instance.

The app uses a MySQL database, and to keep the data configuration distinct I have the database parameters stored in a separate ‘environ.properties’, like…

database.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/berthier
database.uid=root
database.pwd=root

This environ.properties file is then referenced in the Spring applicationcontext.xml file, like…

   <bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
      <property name="locations">
         <value>classpath:environ.properties</value>
      </property>
   </bean>

    <bean id="SQLData"
        class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource">
        <property name="driverClassName"
            value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver">
        </property>
        <property name="url" value="${database.url}">
        </property>
        <property name="username" value="${database.uid}"></property>        
        <property name="password" value="${database.pwd}"></property>
    </bean>

Yet , how do make this approach work for a remote server? With ec2 I don’t even know the address until the instance starts. Any ideas?

davout,

I would recommend you go through this on how to deploy and debug on remote application server – http://www.myeclipseide.com/documentation/quickstarts/remotedebugging/
