Hello there,  
  
We here are using the EntireX XML Mediator 7.2.1 on Windows 2K.  
  
We would like to specify our own config.xml location.  
  
Why ?  
  
Because default location points to http://HOST:PORT//conf/config.xml.  
This is fine for development phase but when we deliver a WAR to the customer,  
we don’t want to unzip the config.xml from the WAR, make our changes - specific to  
each customer - and zip the config.xml file back into the WAR.  
  
I 've seen that you can set the -Dconfig properties into the startFactoryCommant.bat  
files. This property specifies the config.xml location.  
  
But as the EntireX is run as a Windows Service we can’t launch any bat.  
  
In brief, we would like to know what is the most efficient way (from a customer  
perspective) to sets the config.xml location.  
  
Thanks in advance.

Hello Bertrand,  
  
There is no way of redefining this location.

Hello Bertrand,  
  
From the R&D perspective, I would be very interested is the types of changes you are making to config.xml. Perhaps we can offer some alternatives or use your requirments to provide a better solution.  
  
Best regards,  
 Mike
