Ya, that's what I figured the case would be. And for the most part this
isn't a big deal as you say, stick it in the lib folder for web-apps and
you're good to go. Thanks for the reply!

--We use an external castor.properties file and never mess with the jar.
--
--The only catch is that the directory containing the
--properties file needs to be known to the classloader.
--
--In the case of using Castor with our JBoss-based web app,
--that just means putting the castor.properties file in the
--same location as the castor.jar file for loading by JBoss,
--i.e. in the directory JBOSS_HOME\server\yourservername\lib.
--
--For a stand-alone Java app, that just means that your
--CLASSPATH should include both the castor.jar file path AND
--the path of the directory containing the castor.properties file, i.e.
--
-- CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;yourcastorpath\castor-xml.jar;yourcastorpath

--I was just wondering if there would be an easier way to setup
--Castor so that people could configure it from outside the
--jar. I find that it can be a little annoying (all though not
--all that difficult) to open up the jar file, edit the
--properties file, and then repackage it or update it.
--
--If there is a way to do this just yell at me. :) But my idea
--was to possibly setup up an external properties file that
--would get read in first. And any properties in it would
--override what ever is in the internal one. (Kind of like how
--Ant does it currently). Currently I'm not sure how castor
--reads the property file and uses it, i.e.. Does it read it in
--all at once, or only when it needs to find out a setting when
--running. Guess I'll have to take a look at this, if it's the
--first case I would imagine this change wouldn't be all that
--difficult, if it's the second I'm not sure what would be involved.
