Hi Julien,
The GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR is very poorly named. It points to the GeoServer
Configuration files (those XML files you're referencing).
You don't actually need to store the data itself (shape files, GeoTiffs,
whatever) within that structure.
Using that knowledge you can split the actual data from the configuration.
However, if I'm understanding your email correctly, you want to share most
of the configuration between systems, but not the database credentials. In
that case what I'd probably do is make the database credentials files
read-only and then use something like xcopy/robocopy/rsync to copy the
configurations between systems on a regular basis.
There may be more elegant solutions though; hopefully others will chip it.
(All that said, GeoWebCache is different again; it stores it config in
the GEOWEBCACHE_CACHE_DIR directory, which can be different on each
machine.)
Cheers,
Jonathan
