I think that the loadProperties method only returns at the end of processing all files because that way is posible to define defaults properties in one location and override only the required ones. So, this changes will break this behaviour. My proposal is to define a property in the file located as a Resource that can be tested to see if the user want to ignore the possible AccessControlException > > > With the above changes, the extra attemps to load the properties will > never happen if you have a castor.properties in your /WEB-INF/classes > directory. > > Regards, > > Glenn > > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Glenn Nielsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] | /* Spelin donut madder | > MOREnet System Programming | * if iz ina coment. | > Missouri Research and Education Network | */ | > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > ----------------------------------------------------------- If you > wish to unsubscribe from this mailing, send mail to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of: > unsubscribe castor-dev > > -- Robert Marcano (office: [EMAIL PROTECTED], personal: [EMAIL PROTECTED]) System Architect http://www.marcanoonline.com/About_me/about_me.html aol/netscape screen id: robmv jabber id: [EMAIL PROTECTED] msn messenger id: [EMAIL PROTECTED] icq id: 101913663 ----------------------------------------------------------- If you wish to unsubscribe from this mailing, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of: unsubscribe castor-dev
