I want to move jbpm.hibernate.cfg.xml out of my classpath and into a separate folder. I'm doing it like this: processEngine = new Configuration().setFile( new File("myFilePath")).buildProcessEngine() I get the same stack trace as when using setURL and set XMLString. THat stack trace looks something like this: Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.jbpm.pvm.internal.cfg.ProcessEngineImpl.checkDb(ProcessEngineImpl.java:177) at org.jbpm.pvm.internal.cfg.ProcessEngineImpl.buildProcessEngine(ProcessEngineImpl.java:170) Is there somethign I have misunderstood ... or does this look like a bug?
