hi Alternatively i have created a har (hibernate archive) and put the jboss-service.xml and hybernate congif files in this. Found this @ http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBossHibernate3 According to the above article, we can nest har inside sar. But this things is not happening in my case. Is there any configuration files to be edited to in order to nest har inside sar ? My aim is to create portlets where portlet configuration of each portlet is independent of other. Hence i want to include all the database related configuration file inside the portlet's sar file. thanks Srinivas View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4084981#...
