[Opensource] ConfigManager custom properties

[Mike Traum]

I assume you're aware of the 'Setup' DBObject? You can add values through
the expresso administration webpages. To retrieve them, use:
com.jcorporate.expresso.services.dbobj.Setup.getValueRequired(request.getDBN
ame(), "ConfigValueName")

The advantage of using this is that you can change the value easily. If you
use the xml and change the value, you'll have to restart the server.

Thanks, Eddie and Mike. I had overlooked the customProperty tag in the DTD 
:-(
This is a great feature!
