FW: Specifying jspwiki.propertyfile in JBOSS

I have been trying to use the server.xml file in JBOSS to specify where
the container should look for my jspwiki.properties file by specifying
the jspwiki.propertyfile value. This seems to work alright at first but
then blows up telling me something about a "WikiBackgroundThread"
blowing up. This isn't very specific and I'm not really sure what is
going on... Here are some excerpts of the logging:

 

11:12:24,421 INFO  [[/wiki]]  Assigning new engine to 13298201

11:12:24,421 INFO  [[/wiki]] Reading properties from
C:/MapWiki/jspwiki.properties instead of default.

 

Which looks promising, until....

It is finding the new properties file fine and then blowing up and going
back and retrieving the default jspwiki.properties from WEB-INF. Anyone
have any ideas why? Thanks!
