Hi. Thanks for the input.
We're using Glassfish as the server. Not sure where to find a list of
settings for it though. The control panel has lots of "Add Property"
buttons but nothing to prompt for what is required, just empty text boxes.
Will have to look a bit deeper and try to find some docs *somewhere*!!
Thanks,
