配置多个应用程序的标准方法

Question

We've got many java components running on several machines. Mostly web applications (on tomcat), and some are standalone processes. Historically, each application uses its own way to configure itself: singleton class, or properties file on disk, or application resource file, etc. By configuration I mean String key-value pairs, that affect application behaviour (eg. folder name to store files, or some timeout, and so on).

Question: Is there a standard (desirably simple and reliable) way to configure many applications in one place ?

Answer 1

You could use Redis(distributed key-value store) and write a service to retrieve the configuration entries for the relevant application server there.

Alternatively if you are using Spring Boot , you can try Spring Cloud Config

If you are using CDI, you can try the DeltaSpike Configuration Mechanism
