Re: Delayed properties resolving

Hi,

I am not sure what is the problem with the current behavior of
CruiseControl. Do you want to change property values during builds ?

Or do you have some key/values pairs defined in external property files
which you change externally ?

I have hacked CruiseControl to read properties from LDAP, giving the
possibility to create one property per attribute found in a LDAP
directory context.

I am using this mechanism to define branch specific parameters, for
instance the name of the UT WebSphere Server and the name of the
Selenium WebSphere server.

I did not submit this change in JIRA yet but would be interested to.
Since this one is using only JNDI it does not require external libraries.

Regards,

Antoine
