I have used a properties file per environment by placing it in the lib directory (since it's already in the class path). I still include a properties file in the .war but it looks for an external one in tomcat first. You can incorporate a checksum if you are worried about modifications to the properties file. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
