[Deploying Sakai] Alternate sakai.properties without changing sakai.home ?

[Matthew Jones]

Agreed, we use this xml file to customize property files, but don't use add
in an additional system property (that Ray mentioned) but it should work.
But since you control this xml file, you could just hardcode your additional
property file(s) right into this file as well if it doesn't work.

Also, if you don't want to setup this file, Sakai, by default, also reads an
additional file in the *${sakai.home} *directory named *local.properties* and
a file in the *${sakai.security} *directory named *security.properties.*
