Rainer, I wasn't aware of this library, but it looks very handy. Currently I a properties file in my WAR file. Being able to make changes to an external file with fallback to this one would be good. My questions where one might put that external file where it could be found by a servlet. The System property user.home is the one place I can think that would be available regardless of the servlet engine the customer site uses. Do you have other ideas?
Thanks.
