Integration activity - setting webserviceaddress globally

Hi

Could it be possible to set address of web service
http://address:8080/IDM/..../.... in integration activity globally...
for easier deployment from development to test and production.

I have about 10 integration activities and I have to remember to change
address every time I deploy from test to production - it would be more
cleaver, if I could use for example attribute value from Directory.

I tried to add value in input value from workflow to it but it did not
work

BR
V-M

One possible approach is to use an XML file that has the data and then 
use ECMAScript to access this data.

The Integration Activity is a subset of the features of the ExteNd 
Composer product. In that product you could have a configure file called 
PROJECT.xml (name must be this) and in it have structure like the following:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<USERCONFIG>
   <url>http://localhost:8080</url>
</USERCONFIG>

This file would need to be in the classpath for the application server, 
so placing it in jboss/server/IDM/lib should work.

Then in your code you would write an expression like this:

PROJECT.XPath("USERCONFIG/url")

Thanks John for your idea..

I implemented even more straight forward solution - - -

As long as Integration activity is handled on UserApp server and
integration activity supposes that it can connect to correct
webservice..

I added name userappservice pointing to Layer4 switch address of
particular Development/Test/Production  to each userapp servers
/etc/hosts (taking care address points to correct web service)

I changed WS Interchange address to name pointing to 
"http://userappservice:8080/IDM/provisioning/service"

Now I must only take of /etc/hosts address.
