-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Thanks Christopher, I appreciate the quick response.
Trickily I can't change the library (forgot to mention that), so I have to depend on the property value and can't change it to a JNDI lookup. Well, I did the following: As I use Spring anyway, I created a bean property, that if set will also set the JVM property, not too great, but should work, as the value is global for all in the tomcat. Any objections to this? K Christopher Schultz wrote: > Kaj, > > Kaj Kandler wrote: >> Hi there, >> I do have a library, that uses a property to determine some >> configuration.
