J2EE configuration and deployment
Eric Foster-Johnson blogs about a J2EE missing feature: application customization. He discusses the common scenario of delivering an EAR or WAR to the client which will require minor configuration before deployment. Unfortunately the J2EE spec doesn't provide a simple way for this process to occur. Currently, the distribution archive has to be unpacked, configuration changes made to the code internal to the archive, then the whole thing has to be bundled up again and deployed. This inconvenience, while not huge, detracts substantially from the J2EE goal of dropping a single EAR/WAR file on the server and magically being deployed. Eric discusses some potential alternative solutions which warrant some investigation.
