OK. Actually it worked when I added:
$hibernate_connection_dialect=$templates_eval::providevars::hibernate_connection_dialect
This solves the base problem but at the same time creates another one: I do not
have to include variables from only one class but depending one some
environment settings from different classes. Maybe I've just picked a
completely wrong approach, so I'd just like to show what I mean with some
(none-Puppet) pseudo code:
If (environment == "envX")
Then
$hibernate_connection_dialect=$envX::hibernate_connection_dialect
Else if (environment == "envY")
Then
$hibernate_connection_dialect=$envY::hibernate_connection_dialect
End
But actually I don't want is to have code like this - the redefinition of every
variable depending on the environment. I was thinking about some kind of
associative array which would allow to iterate over values 'envX', 'envY', etc.
But again this would lead to a redefinition and I think Puppet does not have
the feature of assoc. array. (Right?)
Inheritance, as mentioned by Mike, is also not possible since I would then need
some kind of 'dynamic' inheritance like this (pseudo code again):
If (environment == "envX")
Then
class env inhertit $envX::class {
}
End
Seems this is not possible in Puppet, too. So maybe there's a completely
different approach in Puppet for accomplishing this problem (?)
Thanks Bernd
