I am using custom configuration. The code is below. Please some one get me out of this pickle. It is really urgent and any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks. public static Configuration getConfiguration() {      org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration configuration = new org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration();   Configuration configuration2 = new Configuration();   try   {    configuration.configure("jbpm.hibernate.cfg.xml");    String encrpytedPassword= configuration.getProperty("hibernate.connection.password");    String decryptedPwd = Encrypt.decrypt(encrpytedPassword);    configuration.setProperty("hibernate.connection.password",decryptedPwd);    configuration2.setHibernateSessionFactory(configuration.buildSessionFactory());    encrpytedPassword = null; decryptedPwd = null;   } catch(Exception e)   {    CustomErrorHandler.handleException(e, "CustomConfig");   }   configuration = null;   return configuration2; } -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/747364#747364] Start a new discussion in jBPM Development at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
