I managed to split hibernate.cfg.xml in two separate config file: one for the microcontainer and one for jbpm. it is possible to specify an alternate config file for hibernate in jbpm. This solution is working but I would prefer to use the microcontainer SessionFactory. Is it possible? jbpm accept an external factory jndi name, how can I specify it? Assume to be in the 'hibernate' sample context. thanks View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3986751#...
