[soham] Kim had mentioned to put this file in src\mifos\config ... Which I am assuming is actually src\mifos\config\resources .. (And shouldn't the current one checked in have the proper values)... But I am getting errors launching mifos in tomcat.

Which is the better option? I am assuming the second one because it makes it easier for MFIs to change the properties and they could just get the war file and change the values they need. > -- > Adam Monsen > > > -------------------------------------------------------------- > ----------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft > Defy all challenges.
