Just to be clear, the order of precedence for determining Constants.FEDORA_HOME is:
1) fedora.home init param via servlet.fedora.home system property People shouldn't actually set the servlet.fedora.home system property directly as org.fcrepo.server.utilities.LogSetupContextListener checks for the "fedora.home" init-param and sets the "servlet.fedora.home" system property. This used to be done in ServerController, but it looks like you moved it to LogSetupController last year, Chris: http://fedora-commons.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/fedora-commons?view=revision&revision=8542 2) fedora.home system property 3) FEDORA_HOME environment variable On 26 Jul 2011, at 4:58 PM, Chris Wilper wrote: > Thanks Aaron.
