Description

Currently the web-grid servlet can only read/write its configuration to the file WEB-INF/config.xml within the application itself. If the web-grid.war file is deployed through a Tomcat context file, it is necessary for it to be able to read its configuration from an external location, specified through a context parameter, for example named "org.apache.oodt.grid.GridServlet.config".
