[muuki88]

• Added default configuration location
• Added replacements in /etc/default configuration
• Added tests
• Added default configuration file with examples
• Added /etc/default script to Upstart

And how can I specify command line arguments to my program?

You put debian package properties inside package? I think /etc/default/ is basically for storing some parameters such as daemonUser.

+# Available replacements 
+# ------------------------------------------------
+# ${{author}}      debian author
+# ${{descr}}      debian package description

I still have to dig a bit deeper in the startup script. There is an option for commandline parameters.

The replacements are just the default ones, available in every maintainerscript.

I think this should be -J-Xmx1024 (no space).

[jsuereth]

Nice work! I only have a minor comment.

[muuki88]

@aparkinson or @jsuereth if you're okay with this, then we merge this into master.

[jsuereth]

Looks good to me!

[kardapoltsev]

And what about javaOptions in run? Could we pass this options to bash script?

[muuki88]

What I'm currently starting to think about is extending the claspath with a directory where you can place configuration files. As most of the typesafe products use Typesafe Config Library, config files could be easily picked up there.

IMHO we should keep configuration settings out of the start script. However there is a method to add app arguments, which is never called?

[aparkinson]

@muuki88 Would having files in a directory effectively override existing config files packaged inside the jars?

Our Play! app has an internal safe config file and we use -Dconfig.file= to override the safe config with our production config

[muuki88]

Exactly. The standard behavior states all resources on classpath with this name, so you application should ship a reference.conf and you can place an application.conf in, e.g. /etc/your-app/.

The API for this must:

• Add packageMapping for this directory
• May add packageMapping for the config-file
• prepend this folder to the classpath

What do you thinkg @aparkinson ?

[kardapoltsev]

Sounds great for me.

[aparkinson]

+1 I didn't know about that, sounds like the right way to go

[muuki88]

If will provide a PR for this.
