After further review, I think the links given may have left some important information out, in combination with possibly some confusing comments in the default jbpm.cfg.xml file. Anyway, I altered my jbpm.cfg.xml file once again, to be exactly the same as the default file (the reason I did this is that I think the default file may be getting overwritten with an empty jbpm.cfg.xml due to how the ant build script is working). Anyway, I did this, and those changes to the jbpm.cfg.xml (the ones recommended in the links given and the ones I performed) build to the jbpm.sar.cfg.jar which is inside the sar file. After deploying this new sar, JBoss starts cleanly again. However, running the process and saving the process does not write anything to the JBPM_LOG table or the JBPM_PROCESSINSTANCE table. Both are still empty. So I guess I'm right back where I started. Here's my current jbpm.cfg.xml file: <jbpm-configuration> | | <!-- | The default configurations can be found in org/jbpm/default.jbpm.cfg.xml | Those configurations can be overwritten by putting this file called | jbpm.cfg.xml on the root of the classpath and put in the customized values. | --> | | <jbpm-context> | <service name="persistence" | factory="org.jbpm.persistence.db.DbPersistenceServiceFactory" /> | <service name="message" | factory="org.jbpm.msg.db.DbMessageServiceFactory" /> | <service name="scheduler" | factory="org.jbpm.scheduler.db.DbSchedulerServiceFactory" /> | <service name="logging" | factory="org.jbpm.logging.db.DbLoggingServiceFactory" /> | <service name="authentication" | factory="org.jbpm.security.authentication.DefaultAuthenticationServiceFactory" /> | </jbpm-context> | | <!-- configuration resource files pointing to default configuration files in jbpm-{version}.jar --> | <string name="resource.hibernate.cfg.xml" value="hibernate.cfg.xml" /> | <string name="resource.business.calendar" | value="org/jbpm/calendar/jbpm.business.calendar.properties" /> | <string name="resource.default.modules" | value="org/jbpm/graph/def/jbpm.default.modules.properties" /> | <string name="resource.converter" | value="org/jbpm/db/hibernate/jbpm.converter.properties" /> | <string name="resource.action.types" | value="org/jbpm/graph/action/action.types.xml" /> | <string name="resource.node.types" | value="org/jbpm/graph/node/node.types.xml" /> | <string name="resource.parsers" | value="org/jbpm/jpdl/par/jbpm.parsers.xml" /> | <string name="resource.varmapping" | value="org/jbpm/context/exe/jbpm.varmapping.xml" /> | | <long name="jbpm.msg.wait.timout" value="5000" singleton="true" /> | <int name="jbpm.byte.block.size" value="1024" singleton="true" /> | <string name="mail.smtp.host" value="localhost" /> | <bean name="jbpm.task.instance.factory" | class="org.jbpm.taskmgmt.impl.DefaultTaskInstanceFactoryImpl" | singleton="true" /> | <bean name="jbpm.variable.resolver" | class="org.jbpm.jpdl.el.impl.JbpmVariableResolver" singleton="true" /> | <bean name="jbpm.mail.address.resolver" | class="org.jbpm.identity.mail.IdentityAddressResolver" | singleton="true" /> | | </jbpm-configuration> | Help!
