AS-5 does have one. However, for changes like this, the usual approach is to edit the file in a text editor. Even the new admin console in AS-5 doesn't have an option to change this file at runtime (and persist those changes on server restart). So yes, editing it in a text editor is fine.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><blockquote class="jive-quote"><p>Lyle Ryan wrote:</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Any pointers to a starting point in the documentation for a SysAdmin without a lot of java knowledge would be appreciated.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p></blockquote><p><span>This might be good start </span><a class="jive-link-external-small" href="https://community.jboss.org/wiki/JBossApplicationServerOfficialDocumentationPage" target="_blank">https://community.jboss.org/wiki/JBossApplicationServerOfficialDocumentationPage</a><span>.
