Hello All, We are a new Agile shop and we are encountering an issue that I hope others have seen. In our process, the Trunk is considered an integration branch; it does not have to be releasable, but it does have to be stable and functional for others to branch off of. We create Feature branches of the Trunk for new development. All wo...
If your project requirements for a large application with many 3rd party dependencies included: 1) Maintain a configuration management system capable of reproducing from source bit-for-bit identical copies of any build for 25 years after the original build was run and 2) Use Maven2 as a build tool to compile the bui...
Currently all web apps are deployed using seperate config files: <!-- <import bean.... production/> --> <import bean... development/> This has disadvantages, even if you only need to swap out one config file, that I'm sure everyone is familiar with (wondering what just deployed without searching through XML is one of them) I want to ...
Hi, i am using subversion as RCS. Always when a new version of my project is finised i create a tag of it (copy of the trunk).

Should be simple, but whatever I try returns null: const string key = "system.web"; var sectionTry1 = WebConfigurationManager.GetSection(key); var sectionTry2 = ConfigurationManager.GetSection(key); I'm sure I have done this before. I am using MVC if this makes a difference. ...
I'm working on a solution with multiple projects (class libraries, interop, web application, etc) in VS2010. For the web application, I would like to take advantage of the config transformations in VS2010, so at one point I added configurations for each of our environments: Development, Test, Production, and so on. Some time later, aft...
I would like to make a good case to our team that our existing disparate systems need to talk to each other if we wish to be productive. Any pointers? We have svn JIRA + GrassHopper (only being used as Agile dashboard) TeamTrack The list can change, because we want to stop paying for JIRA and TeamTrack. ...
My question has to do with best practices and tools used for promoting application configuration data to a new environment as part of a typical testing cycle. The latter includes three environments, TEST, STAGING and PROD. Code and configuration changes are applied first to test and then promoted to STAGING and then to PROD once tests ha...

Hello, I would like to ask you for your opinion on the best practices of managing big numbers of complex (for example xml, .properties, custom formats etc) configuration files as nowadays every more complex project consist of way to many to count. How not to get lost in such a mess? How to reuse those in best ways? Any good tool that ca...
The question is too simple, but still appreciate the short answer. I would like the SmtpClient to fetch username/password from the App.config file. From the MSDN/schema I've figured out that the proper file (excerpt) should look like: <system.net> <mailSettings> <smtp from="[email protected]"> <network host="mail...
We are looking for tools to orchestrate complex deployments. We use a variety of MS technologies (IIS 6, MS SQL, Windows 2003 Servers, .NET 4.0) and have developed point solutions of varying qualities for deployment of websites (lousy), databases (good), and other stuff (OK). Our major holes right now are gluing it all together (orchestr...

I've inherited "ownership" of various servers (the hardware itself and server software that runs on in - lots of Apache/Oracle/MySQL) with a wide variety of configurations. I'm a developer - I've been thrown into a Team Leader/Systems Support role for some very unfortunate reasons. Do any of you guys in the SysAdmin world have any trick...
Do you know any product like Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2010 that solves the parallel development pain/conflict for j2EE development? Best regards ...

Suppose I have a .NET project that builds successfully. Now, I need to selectively build to different environments, such as DEV, QA, and PROD. Each require their own config files (app.config for instance) to contain corresponding connection strings and other settings. I've looked at simple pre-build scripting, such as this one from Sc...
