### Configuration via Property File

*A note on property files*

T property file is located in the _/server/src/main/resources/props/
folder._ The default property file name is _default.props._&nbsp; This file
must be named after the user under which the process is running. On Tomcat
6.0 under windows, then this file would be "SYSTEM.props". Capitalization
counts.

To set an option, please use the following syntax:


    compass_config_file=/props/compass.filesystem.cfg.xml


<a name="ServerConfiguration-Changingthevaluesintheproperties"></a>
#### Changing the values in the properties

To change these options, you have two options
1. You may edit the property file and then rebuild esme (the recommended
way)
1. If you access to the file system where esme is deployed, you can edit the
property file and then restart the web application server.
