Hi all,

The forwarded message contains the modifications that I intend to 
include in the next Web-Admin release. These modifications are necessary 
as eXist configuration files are not currently manipulated by Web-Admin. 
Further, when a properties file is modified manually (without web-admin) 
then changes will take effect when Tomcat is restarted. The 
modifications intend to resolve those two problems.

Please let me know whether this is alright by everyone. Additionally, 
any suggestions for improvement over the modifications would be appreciated.

Best regards,
Prodromos.

Sounds good to me. Can you please send this information to the mailing
list for comments (in case someone is relying on a different behavior).
If you don't hear anything by the end of the week, consider there is
broad agreement. (you don't have to wait for the end of the week to
implement the changes).

Cheers,
Nicolas
