The .mifos directory configuration scheme allows for this.
Adam As I understand it this has little to do with the .mifos directory, as each VM would have its own set of parameters, completely independent of any other VMs. In my opinion the .mifos location for configuration data is just wrong for a Linux system apart from one hosting multiple developers, each their own home directory and Tomcat instance, and is one of the reasons that Mifos is hard to run with a default Tomcat installation. Another is default security setting, but I believe we have a solution in sight for that. I think that somewhere like /etc/mifos would be a far better place for the configuration files on a production Linux system. We've discussed this before, with the recommendation that an environment variable be set to point to the location of the configuration file(s). A Debian installation (I don't have Ubuntu to check) does not run jsvc in a way that creates environment variables accessible to an application. Why run in such a non-standard way? Wouldn't it be far better to be able to configure a default installation to be able to run Mifos? Fixing this would make the task of generating a .deb for Debian and Ubuntu, and other Debian-based distributions, far simpler.
