No. The Facade takes care of that. Upon first call, it will initialize
itself.

I use the ClassLoader. The config file is placed in WEB-INF/classes. It
works great with Tomcat, WebLogic 6 seems to be having some trouble with
it... I really wonder why, this should be completely portable.
See the code, attached.
Let me know if you have questions.
