Hello Antonio, That worked. Thanks.
I added to catalina.properties file. If I have other API keys and such that I would like to store, should I also store them there, or does it make more sense to simply create a separate properties file (since they aren't related to Tomcat)? Thank you. On Wed, Nov 2, 2016 at 4:22 PM, Antonio S.
