See the userguide for samples on that. So you won't have a actviti.cfg.xml, instead, you'll be setting the right properties on a ProcessEngineCOnfiguration and building an engine off that instead.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 05 Dec 2013 09:44:00 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/non-spring-jpa-transactions/m-p/170985#M124250 frederikherema1 2013-12-05T09:44:00Z
