I've been looking at the build.xml ear file and as far as I understand, the hibernate.cfg.xml file is copied from the jbom-console.war that is uncompressed to extract their configuration files <target name="customize.war"> | <ant antfile="../../console/build.xml" inheritall="false" /> | <mkdir dir="target/customizedwar" /> | <unzip src="${local.repository}/${lib.jbpm.console.dir}/jbpm-console.war" dest="target/customizedwar" /> and: <mkdir dir="target/jbpm.configs" /> | <move todir="target/jbpm.configs"> | <fileset dir="target/customizedwar/WEB-INF/classes"> | <include name="*.xml" /> | </fileset> | </move> Furthermore, the hibernate.cfg.xml file is copied from the /jpdl/jar/src/main/config/hibernate.cfg.xml file when the jbpm-console.war is built: <target name="create.customized.config.files"> | <mkdir dir="target/config.files" /> | <copy todir="target/config.files"> | <fileset dir="../jpdl/jar/src/main/config" /> | </copy> To change the dialect to Oracle9 one, I had to touch directly that file (/jpdl/jar/src/main/config/hibernate.cfg.xml), but I got bad feelings doing that. Is this the preferred way to do this, or perhaps there's some other way, touching some build.preferences file or something so? Regards.
