Do you think that in might cause confusion when a config file accidentally wanders into the classpath?
I personally prefer a fixed directory structure and, atm, cannot conceive of a compelling use case that would require a non standard one.

Agreed. Also this single configuration file could be then on the classpath rather than in the file system to keep things clean and so that the 'server profile' could be hardwired if need be but overridden when required in some child directory. e.g. a tomcat style server could just be configured as a single xbean.properties file on the classpath. -- James ------- http://radio.weblogs.com/0112098/
