Re: Using Constants based on Environment

Thanks for your response Jens.

For the maven configuration, I have a *.Dev.gwt.xml and a *.Prod.gwt.xml being referenced from the maven profiles. I'll see if I can directly filter resources there.

Since, I am using GWT 2.8, the second option you mentioned works great with my current setup.

As a follow up, is it possible to have the appropriate interface resource being picked from the *.gwt.xml instead.

For e.g., something like this wont work since here I only have interfaces as opposed to implementations below:

<replace-with
 class="com.test.client.ClientFactoryImpl">
 <when-type-is class="com.test.client.ClientFactory" />
</replace-with>

Ideally your build tool should put your environment into prod or dev mode and the GWT app shouldn't know/care about it. With Maven / Gradle / Ant you can use "resource filtering" to rewrite resources like property files while being copied to the output folder. 

In that case you would have

Config.properties:

key = ${key}

dev.properties:

key = devValue

prod.properties:

key = prodValue

and the build tool will replace ${key} with the value of one of the other two files before GWT will pick up config.properties.

Otherwise you might try (no idea if it works):

interface Config extends Constants {...}

interface DevConfig extends Config {...} -> create a file DevConfig.properties

interface ProdConfig extends Config {...} -> create a file ProdConfig.properties

and in Java code

Config config;

if ("dev".equals(System.getProperty("env")) {

  config = GWT.create(DevConfig.class);

} else if ("prod".equals(......)) {

  .....

}

Can't remember, but System.getProperty() might require GWT 2.8.
