Try separating the process-engine only configuration out and keeping the shared (eg. beans, customisations, services, …) separate. This way, you can test using a standalone H2 DB, out of the container, but still exposing all bits needed in order to make the process work.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 05 Dec 2013 09:42:34 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/how-to-deploy-jndi-references-programmatically/m-p/170934#M124199 frederikherema1 2013-12-05T09:42:34Z Re: How to deploy JNDI references programmatically? https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/how-to-deploy-jndi-references-programmatically/m-p/170935#M124200 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Frederik, thank you for this simple but effective hint!</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Just putting a simplified copy into maven's test/resources folder works, of course.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Thank you and best regards,</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>kai</SPAN><BR /></BODY></HTML> Wed, 11 Dec 2013 18:31:03 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/how-to-deploy-jndi-references-programmatically/m-p/170935#M124200 kaihuener 2013-12-11T18:31:03Z Re: How to deploy JNDI references programmatically? https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/how-to-deploy-jndi-references-programmatically/m-p/170936#M124201 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>This also allows you to mock out (or replace) any beans you use in the processes for easy testing of the process itself…</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 12 Dec 2013 07:39:41 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/how-to-deploy-jndi-references-programmatically/m-p/170936#M124201 frederikherema1 2013-12-12T07:39:41Z
