thanks very much, whereas to be honest I don't fully understand how this 
works

# Dir name of local configuration
local.config.dir=conf/local

# Full path of local configuration (NOTE: defining it will override any 
local.config.dir setting.)
#local.config.home=/path/to/project/yanel-configuration


Is yanel-configuration a directory? And if so, what does it contain (for 
example yanel.xml or realms.xml)? And if so, does it mean that files 
like yanel.xml are not
loaded from the classpath anymore? And if so, where within the web-app 
is this path set?

Thanks
