John,
That looks pretty good. I tried your patch (modified slightly since I am not using
the latest CVS code) on Resin with no write access to appData.ser and your
appropriate message appeared in the log. I also tried it locally with Tomcat
and the declaration of intake.xml commented out in TR.props - again a useful
message.
On Resin I have put back the "/" in the web.xml path to TR.props and everything
seems fine - not sure what was up with that.
Thanks,
Scott
