Hi Van,

Sorry I missed your earlier email. roller-custom.properties is always
supposed to be outside the WAR file. See section 8 of the install
guide. Section 12 also gives some other options:

# You can override the values in this file in a couple ways ..
#   1. define a roller-custom.properties file and place it somewhere
#       at the root of one of your classpath locations.
#       for example:
#           $TOMCAT_HOME/common/classes
#           $ROLLER_LOCATION/WEB-INF/classes
#
#   2. specify a custom properties file via jvm option
#       example:
#           -Droller.custom.config=/path/to/properties/file

Hope that helps...

I think you have to use the -D option inside a WLS startup script, not sure tho.

If you have time, please share with us what you had to do to make
Roller 4.0.1 run on WebLogic 11, I have had no luck with WebLogic at
all, with Roller 4 or 5.

Thanks,
- Dave
