However, they are convenient in standalone apps. An example approach that works pretty well for webapps and for standalone apps sharing the same code is to use a graduated search mechanism for configuration info -- like what the commons-logging package does in looking for logging configuration: look for a local properties file with a well known name, look for a JAR file that has the right file in its META-INF directory, look at a system property, fall back to a default. > Regards, > > Will Hartung > ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) > Craig --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
