Gregory Joseph updated MAGNOLIA-2170:
-------------------------------------
Labels: freemarker (was: )
> template directory location should be configurable (and outside the app
> directory)
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MAGNOLIA-2170
> URL: http://jira.magnolia.info/browse/MAGNOLIA-2170
> Project: Magnolia
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: core
> Affects Versions: 3.5.8
> Reporter: Dan Greening
> Assignee: Gregory Joseph
> Fix For: 3.7
>
>
> Ideally, it would be possible to make the servlet container read-only,
> storing the repository and template files (and any other writable files)
> outside the app directory. This would allow for "instant upgrades" by just
> dropping in a new WAR file. Today, I think, Magnolia really violates the
> principles of a WAR file, which is that it should be self-contained and not
> writable.
> I attempted to remove all writable/changable files and directories to outside
> the directory, and then marked the app directory read-only to diagnose
> problem areas. In Tomcat, it is possible to configure the
> magnolia.properties file location outside the app directory (and by changing
> that version of magnolia.properties, you can move the repository directory)
> out of the servlet container. However, you cannot relocate template files
> outside the app. In addition, the installation process makes changes to the
> contents of the app directory; kind of annoying.
> Would be used by many, I suspect.
