I use a different xxx_torque.properties file for each of my many
configurations. In each configuration's override settings, I include:
component.torque.config=${webappRoot}/WEB-INF/conf/xxx_torque.properties
This overrides the setting in tr.p, which works for strings. That way
my file is used instead of the default.
