Should accept empty properties as "not there" to allow overriding of providers etc. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-2452 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2452 Project: Hibernate3 Type: Improvement Versions: 3.2.2 Reporter: Max Rydahl Andersen Priority: Critical currently hibernate blindly tries to instantiate empty strings as connection providers, tx manager lookup etc. resulting in errors. This might be ok behavior, but it makes it impossible to actually override settings found in cfg.xml and-or persistence.xml (relevant for tooling to allow using war or ear configurations in tooling) I suggest we make hibernate ignore empty strings for these settings (or maybe all) to allow proper overriding -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
