WLP Content Management Repository

Question

We are using WLP content management system(file based repository), We have some configuration which is in content-config.xml, where we are setting a default value for "cm_fileSystem_path" to "c:\portal\content", so far it is ok, but once deployed in production this value overwrites the production value which is configured using WLP admin console. My question is how do we set it a particular value during deployment time rather than putting it always in 'content-cofnig.xml' then using WLP admin console to update with production env value.
Here is what we would like to do,
If there is no config parameter available then deployment should take this value from content-config.xml, but some how if we are providing this value during deployment time then it should over write the default value supplied with content-config.xml.
Thanks

How do I create plan.xml for every env Im not sure what you mean. Use vi/notepad if you want! See the section 'Using an Existing Deployment Plan to Configure an Application' in the link. You simply need to create this plan once with the value you want and you can use the same one with a different path value(the one you want to change) for each environment. Whether you want to create a template plan.xml whose value is replaced by an ant build is upto you.
Plan.xml is similar to a WLST script, you'd only need to parameterise the actual value you want to use as the path(and you'd have to run both for every deployment) - Im not sure this value is accessible over WLST though..
