Hi Hannan,

Modification of the war file is really not such a good idea I think. It
makes updating a bit trickier than it should be.  It is easy to use
multiple local tomcat installations (or better the tomcat-user package) to
clone multiple tomcat instances. You then only need to modify your
setenv.sh (or setenv.bat on Windows) to point to the specific
hibernate.properties file. In this way, you never need to define a system
wide variable, which will effect all Tomcat instances, and your different
instances can have different memory parameters depending on what your
specific needs are for each instance.

Best regards,
Jason
