Hi James,

thanks for your design proposal and implementation: I have reviewed your
patch in Jira and it looks good to me.
As mentioned by Taher, in the future we may try to move away from the OFBiz
container driven startup process in order to make OFBiz more easily
deployable in an application server; deploying application like you have
described will be even easier if we will succeed.
In the meantime, since it will take time and your approach is simple and
effective, I think that we could commit your work.

Regards,

Jacopo
