Maybe I'm using the wrong terminology to describe the pieces then.

I have a directory tree like this:

  /private/grouper/api
  /private/grouper/ui
  /private/grouper/ws

The "api" directory is an rsync of the api directory on my backend daemon 
server.  The "ui" directory looks like:

I've got customized configs in the conf/ directory and a customized 
log4j.properties.  I used "ant war" to build the war file.

Is this an unusual way to maintain the ui?  I think this is how it is
