Specifying deployment configuration settings for weblogic?

I have a super lightweight weblogic application and I need access to a string that will change depending on the environment. I've searched for a bit and all my options seem to require building classes and loaders etc. However with the number of application configuration files weblogic has I'm fully expecting there to be a better place to store a single global property for quick reference that can be changed using the plan.xml file.

Not sure, if your looking for this(adding another answer).

  1. Open startWebLogic.cmd/startWebLogic.sh available in your weblogic domain folder.
  2. Add set JAVA_OPTIONS=%JAVA_OPTIONS% -Dmy.environment=TestEnviroment in the top section of the file before it calls call "%DOMAIN_HOME%\bin\startWebLogic.cmd" %*
  3. Save the file and restart the Weblogic server.

This variable is now present in the environment for usage.

I think you can use plan.xml during deployment time with entry as below to override myEnvVariable context variable value defined through context in web.xml. Details are provided at Oracle Website.

 <variable-definition>
  <variable>
      <name>myEnvVariable</name>
      <value>myEnvironmentDependentValue</value>
  </variable>
 </variable-definition>

You may want to create different plan.xml for different environments.

Context variable in web.xml can be defined as below:

 <context-param>
    <param-name>myEnvVariable</param-name>
    <param-value>myEnvironmentDefaultValue/param-value>
 </context-param>

Context variables can be retrieved in server side using request object as below:

 String myEnvVariableString= getServletContext().getInitParameter("myEnvVariable");
