Say one wishes to write a Ruby script that pokes around in the JIRA or Confluence database for some reason. The first step would be to infer the database details, configured either in the application (dbconfig.xml, confluence.cfg.xml) or in the appserver (conf/server.xml).
This library handles the business of figuring out where the database details are stored. Just give the dbinfo function the location of the data dir (e.g. JIRA_HOME) and application directory.
Sample use:
[1] pry(main)> require 'atl_config'
=> true
[2] pry(main)> AtlConfig.dbinfo("confluence", "/opt/atlassian/redradish_confluence/current", "/var/atlassian/application-data/redradish_confluence/current")
=> #<struct AtlConfig::DBInfo
datasource=nil,
user="redradish_confluence",
password="redradish_confluence",
dbtype="postgresql",
host="localhost",
port=5432,
database="redradish_confluence">
