Re: default domain by app

I've set up keel's tables for authentication in a db: keel.  My
application data is stored in its own db: mydb.  I want to use the
applications that have already been developed by the community that use
those tables, but I don't want to combine the databases into one.  I'd
like my application to be configured to look at a default db, preferably
through configuration, without having to hard code a domain into all
models.  After writing this I see that I can configure a dbpool (don't
know how exactly, docs scarce their also), and a simple search and
replace on my application could get that code implemented, so I may now
just need to figure out the svc-domain-config.

I've followed Shash's posts on setting up multiple jdbc elements, my one
question now is exactly where do i put that (which file)?


NOTE: I noticed in anon CVS that keel-server/sample-conf and all subdirs
are empty.  Is that correct?

thanks,
gene
