Hi
First of all, thanks for your great tool. It is a very nice platform. Your documentation is close to be perfect and that a very important point to start with new tools.
I encountered some difficulties to deploy my cuba app in the following context
- cuba-platform 6.10.5
- cuba studio 6.10.1
- uberjar
- use of an external local.app.properties
Lets say may app is called myapp.
The local application property file is <APP_HOME>/myapp/conf/myapp/local.app.properties
But It wasn’t read !
After a couple of hours, I found the problem:
In <SOURCE_CODE>/modules/web/web/WEB-INF/web.xml , there is :
<context-param>
<param-name>appPropertiesConfig</param-name>
<param-value>classpath:com/myapp/web-app.properties
/WEB-INF/local.app.properties
"file:${catalina.base}/conf/myapp/local.app.properties"</param-value>
</context-param>
==> local.app.properties is read via ${catalina.base}
But UberJar uses Jetty … so it has nothing to do with catalina.base (which refers to tomcat. )
Once I modified like this my commandline, it worked!
java %JAVA_OPTS% -Dcatalina.base="%APP_HOME%\myapp" -jar myapp.jar
Could it be simplified using another variable in web.xml? (is it a tomcat limitation ? )
Hope this could help 
Regard,
Guillaume
