I know how I can configure datasource with JNDI (create xxx-ds.xml file). And now I want to move my hibenate configuration properties definition away from persistence.xml and make them available via JNDI. I have googled a bit and found JNDIBindingServiceMgr () that allows to bind arbitrary values into JNDI and, as it is stated here (http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/jboss/jboss-eap-4.3/doc/Server_Configu...) even java.util.Properties object can be mapped. So I see the way to define hibernate properties in JNDI. But I do not see the way to reference them in persistense.xml (like I deal with datasource, please see below). Is there any possibility to do that? | <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> | <persistence xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence" | xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="1.0"> | | <persistence-unit name="myEntityManager" transaction-type="JTA"> | | <jta-data-source>java:/ewsDatasource</jta-data-source> | | <properties> | <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect" /> | </property> | [more properties here] | </properties> | | </persistence-unit> | </persistence> | Thaks! http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/JNDIBindingServiceMgr View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4171454#...
