So I now have JSP using Turbine as a user authentication like we talked
about.

There is one problem.  TurbineResources.properties.

Turbine.java sets this as an init parameter during (init).

Anything that circumvents this servlet will break.  There are a couple
ways around this.

1.  Define this for the JSP Servlet:
        - doesn't work for non Servlet applications: Swing, console, etc.
        - will conflict with any other object that needs a "properties" param
        - doesn't play well with Jakarta/Servlet 2.2.  Each servlet zone has to 
          define init params.  WAR's really shouldn't *have* to be
messed with

2.  Have the default be {java.home}/TurbineResources.properties with
this value overriden in Turbine.java.  
        - works for all applications from Servlets, to Swing, console, etc.
        - won't conflict with a JSP that needs "properties"
        - works for all WARS.
        - Works across servlet zones

There are some problems with this.  You wouldn't be able to provide
multiple TurbineResources.properties.  I am not sure if there is a
decent way around this.  If someone *really* wants it we could provide a
custom property that would be specific per VM.

Thoughts?
