I'll get it documented. But you touch on my main concern, which is
that it does seem a little complicated. I'm interested in impressions
here. I'm waffling. In a way, it provides more flexibility. By
allowing one to specify in AppServer.config the configuration file for
each (or the only) Application to use, we set up the ability to put the
whole Webware package into the system directories on UNIX. The
Application config file could specify cache, log and other directories.
That is already pretty much setup in Application, it just hasn't been
fully "plumbed".
I also worry that this setup pushes the limit of using a dictionary as
the configuration file format. I messed up and forgot to include a
comma in places a couple of different times, and got cryptic errors
(well, they'd be cryptic to a regular user). BUT, if someone would
write the Web based configuration editing servlet, it wouldn't be as
much of a concern. ;)
I left that latitude.jslove.org stuff in the config so you could see a
virtual server/ two application setup.
