How to change MDS in Plan

Question

Hello,
Using database based MDS in SOA app (11g). referring all the XSDs in the application via this MDS store using resource palette - IDEConnection --- SOA-MDS . app gets compiled and deployed on remote server (where MDS is also sitting)
now, we want to deploy this application on test server (which has different MDS properties - MDSHost, MDSPort, user, pass). Two Questions .........
1> Now, without making changes in adf-config.xml where MDS properties are stored, how can we use deployment plan to make replacement to MDS properties MDSHost, MDSPort etc etc and be able to apply this new deploy plan during deploment to TEST server ?
i have created deploy plan, but do not see any entry for MDS properties replacement. so what is the way out ?
2> If that is possible, then are we going to compile / build our project with exiting (BASE) MDS connection in Jdev and then only apply the MDS replacement via deploy plan during deploy to TEST server ? is this correct ?
thx
P.S Idea is to be able to make MDS replacement thru Plan file and yet be able to compile / build / deploy correctly on TEST server.

Hi Milan,
I am trying to make my fault policy and fault bindings file global ie., accessed by all the services running in my server.
For this,
I have created a folder in /Middlewarehome/jdeveloper/integration/seed/sabari_apps. In that folder i hav my fault-policies.xml and fault-bindings.xml.
I have my adf-config.xml like below.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252" ?>
<adf-config xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/config"
xmlns:config="http://xmlns.oracle.com/bc4j/configuration"

Now .. when I try to give the path of my fault-policy and faultbinding.xml file in my composite.xml, i am confused .
<property name="oracle.composite.faultPolicyFile">jdev.rc:oracle.jdeveloper.rescat2.ResourcePalette/SabariAppsFileBasedMDS/faulthandling/fault-policies.xml</property>
<property name="oracle.composite.faultBindingFile">jdev.rc:oracle.jdeveloper.rescat2.ResourcePalette/SabariAppsFileBasedMDS/faulthandling/fault-bindings.xml</property>
here.. the links which i referred to give the value for the faultpolicyFile as oramds://apps/folder/fault-policies.xml
I have given like 'jdev.rc:oracle.jdeveloper.rescat2.ResourcePalette/SabariAppsFileBasedMDS/faulthandling/fault-policies.xml' becz when i created a filebasedMDS connection in my ResourcePalette, i found the path of my faultPolicy and faultBinding file like this, when i placed my mouse over the file.
Please guide me in finding the path of my faultpolicy file to give it in the composite.xml.
Thanks,
Sabarisri. N
