I have ant scripts that build everything for me including WAR files for
deployment. In my source repo, I have different configuration
directories for each of dev, demo, and prod. In fact, I can make as many
of those as I'd like, since I just set "release-type" in my
build.properties file to a string, and ant pulls the configuration and
properties files that match that directory, so I could potentially
create a "foo" release-type if I wanted.
in fact you can even specify the system type as parameter to the build
script, without need to edit it in the properties file:
<target name="war">
...
<!-- test is default -->
<property name="config.file" location="etc/config/test-config.properties"/>
<copy tofile="${config.file.target}" file="${config.file}" overwrite="true"/>
...
</target>
<target name="prod">
<property name="config.file"
location="etc/config/prod-config.properties"/>
</target>
<target name="test">
<property name="config.file"
location="etc/config/test-config.properties"/>
</target>
ant test war - builds the war file for the testsystem, prod war - the
production system. ant war build test or whatever you want to have as
default.

So, instead of the application detecting where it is and configuring
itself appropriately, I tell the application what it /will be/ and
configure it at build time.
