I have a java application which is packed into an executable jar file and it uses it’s own conf directory to store some configuration options.
Now I want to distribute it as a Java Web Start application. I know that I could pack the configuration files in the distributed jar but it should cause some significant changes in application logic.
So is there a standard way or a simple workaround for the configuration directory distribution?
Configuration options for a rich client deployed using JWS are probably best stored in the
PersistenceService.
