This is long on my TODO, that it should be possible that ocnfig files are
resources. (so, they can be in classes or in lib then). You can also provide
default configuration then (e.g. the core builder xml can disappear to
mmbase.jar). Then you could also run mmbase from an unpacked war.
But currently, it is not possible.

Which I don't understand.

You can move the config directory by setting the 'mmbase.config' parameter
(I think this can be done in web.xml:
<context-param>
<param-name>mmbase.config</param-name>
<param-value>/home/mmbase/config</param-value>
</context-param>
or so
).
I'm not sure if that would also work if you point to a directoy inside
WEB-INF. Anyhow, the config directory must remain an actual directory, and
not some resource in the classpath or on another server.
