Access Client Solutions - What AcsConfig.properties is being used?

If you have more than one AcsConfig.properties file in the system how can you see in ACS what AcsConfig.properties is being used by ACS?

It is easy to get information about the version of ACS and Java in the Help - Product information.


Use Case:

We have just had a case where it turned out that more than one AcsConfig.properties file existed on the system and the ACS session did not use the AcsConfig.properties file that we expected.

It took quite a while to find out what was the problem and to find out which of the files that where used.

We were missing a way to find out what AcsConfig.properties was in use.

    There are only two places where ACS will look for the AcsConfig.properties file. The first place it looks is in the same folder as the acsbundle.jar file. The location of acsbundle.jar can be determined by Help->About from the main ACS panel. If it finds AcsConfig.properties there, that one will be used. If AcsConfig.properties is not found next to acsbundle.jar, then it will use the AcsConfig.properites file that exists inside acsbundle.jar. As shipped, both versions contain the same default settings.
