Ok. Just curious: any reason why you did not store this in the DB? I
would assume these properies where mapped with Hibernate.

Ok just did. Good to know, since I need to change the user under which
tomcat runs (under root at the moment), which means that Pixory will
not work when I do that.
So am I right to assume that I can move the hypersonic files to the
new user dir and Pixory finds it? (i.e. it always looks under the user
 home dir?
Again just curious: Why not stored in the webapp?
