alfresco-global.properties not taken into account

[fo1337]

I'm evaluating the new 3.2 preview #2 release, and I'm trying to use the new configuration infrastructure. We're supposed to edit the new alfresco-global.properties instead of the separate .properties.

I've copied the sample alfresco-global.properties into my shared class path, per the Wiki instructions. On my server it's under /opt/alfresco/tomcat/shared/classes/. Apparently it's not detected, because none of the options I set up there are working. For example I changed the name of the alf_data/ directory and it's still being created as alf_data/. I used the linux installer.

What could be the issue?

Thank you.

Do not use a mixture of alfresco-global.properties and legacy config as this will cause conflicts as you have found. Either continue using custom-repository-context.xml and its associated files, or remove the override of the repository-properties bean and start using alfresco-global.properties.

For me, tomcat was looking in <home>/shared/classes/ rather than what I expected: <home>/share/classes/alfresco/extension/.  Perhaps the file shouldn't be in the "extensions/extension" directory of the WAR distribution?
