These are the web client config sources defined in web-client-application-context.xml.

Either stick it in alfresco/extension/web-client-config-custom.xml on the file system on upload it to Alfresco under Data Dictionary/Web Client Extension/web-client-config-custom.xml.

Thanks for the quick reply, but is web-client-config-custom.xml not meant for overwriting the web-client-config.xml and not necessarily for overwriting web-client-config-wcm.xml?

In any case I have just tried it and it doesn't seem to work.

Any other suggestions? Many thanks,
Allan

This is an old thread. Just posting the solution for others' reference. I have tried the following for alfresco-3.4.2 and it worked.
Put your custom wcm configuration in tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/web-client-config-custom.xml
You have to mention


<config replace="true">
 ‍‍‍

to replace the configuration in tomcat/webapps/alfresco/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco
