How does a client app find a ppf-client.properties file?  I.e. where should I put this file so that it is used by my app?  I gather that by default an instance of JPPFClient accesses a driver via default ports on localhost.  Eventually I'll need to have my apps access remote jppf drivers.  

thanks

Hello,

The lookup of the configuration file is done as follows:
[list=1]

• JPPF looks for the config file path in the system property "jppf.config"
• if "jppf.config" is not defined, a default value of "jppf.properties" is used
• the config file is searched in the file system; if the config file path is a relative path, the search is based on the current user directory, such as returned by System.getProperty("user.dir")
• if the file is not found in the file system, it is looked up in the application's class path
• finally, if the file is not found in the class path, the configuration is left empty and default values will be used, as described in the  Configuring section of the documentation.
  [/list:o]I hope this helps,

thanks, that's exactly what I needed to know.
