Given the new reconfiguration functionality available within the Java
CAPS 6 release you may be wondering why this type of functionality is
not available within the previous releases of the tool set. Well their
is a little known, undocumented, tool that is available from Sun Java
CAPS support called iConfigure.
The iConfigure
tool will allow you to take an existing 5.1.x ear file and change
its configuration based on a supplied, delta, XML configuration file.
As a result of this you can now redeploy and reconfigure you Java CAPS
5.1.x EAR file without needing to rebuild that EAR within Enterprise
Designer.
My intention within a future blog entry (Java CAPS Application Configuration) is to describe to people already using the iConfigure tool how they can successfully migrate their configuration information from their XML file to the Java CAPS 6 properties based implementation thus facilitating ease of migration.

This is exactly what I'm looking to do! I look forward to this post.

Strictly speaking the description you give for Java CAPS 5.1.x is only for the out of the box product. Clients can request the iConfigure tool from support and it will provide the same functionality using xml files rather than properties files.

Does anybody know who wrote iConfigure? Whoever it was, a lot of people owe a lot of their time and sanity to him/her.
