Re: [Wonder-disc] Properties Loading

[David A. <web...@av...>]

You are right, sort of. 

Actually, that is the case as long as you don't do something really weird like I was.

The Properties.<userName> file in an Application that links to an optionalConfigurationFile in the Application's Resources directory, then the Properties.<userName> takes precedence.

BUT

If you have a Properties.<username> in a _Framework_ that links to an optionalConfigurationFile that resides in the _Application's_ Resources directory, then the optionalConfigurationFile takes precedence.

See, you just have to think like me.
