I can use a JNDI name in my storage_conf.xml file for the standard content delivery database, but. This is great as we can create a single storage file that is used in all environments and remains part of the same deployment package.

We'd seen that this doesn't work when configuring a <storage> element within a <Wrapper> (the new nodes for session preview)

<Wrappers>
  <Wrapper Name="SessionWrapper">
    <storage />
  </Wrapper>
</Wrappers>

we believe that SDL Tridion doesn't support a JNDI name at the moment for this format, which is something I will confirm with SDL Tridion support. In the event this is indeed not supported, I was wondering what work arounds the community has made in an attempt to create a single deployment package (war file) that can be used in all SDL Tridion environments.

JNDI cannot currently be used for "storage wrappers" as you state, so the solution is not very easy - unless all your environments are using the same wrapper database - which is not such a crazy thing, after all this database only has temporary data in it.

The way I'm dealing with it right now is with post-deployment scripts that modify ##variables## in the cd_*_conf.xml files. Not elegant, but effective.

  • Thanks Nuno. Both points are very good ideas. We don't have he single session preview, so the idea of ##variables## is the winner here.

    Just so everyone knows, 2013 will support JNDI for the session wrapper.
