[Building Sakai] Sakai Webservices - Axis

[sandeep nair]

Awesome possum. I have been trying to enable so many properties to make it
work like container.login=true and session.resolvehostname=true. You made my
day. Isnt there a whole list of sakai.properties available somewhere so that
i can easily look in to that?

Thanks once again buddy.
