Hi there,I'm New to Activiti and Started with the local deployment of activiti after downloading the source. I'm trying out a simple task where a mail can be sent on some condition. I've changed the activiti.cfg.xml in activiti-engine\src\test\resources, It is still taking the default java mail conf

The properties added:
<blockcode>

<bean id="processEngineConfiguration"
    class="org.activiti.engine.impl.cfg.StandaloneProcessEngineConfiguration">

    <property name="mailServerHost" value="smtp.gmail.com" />
   <property name="mailServerPort" value="587" />
   <property name="mailServerDefaultFrom" value="xxxx@gmail.com" />

that looks allright. And you say it's still using port 25? You are sure this config is picked up?

No. The configuration is not being picked up. That's the problem. I changed the configuration, built and deployed it on server again.
But the port value and host does not seem to change. Is there anything else I'm missing out?

How can you be sure? Did you for example change the db properties to make bootup fail?

The properties you pasted above are correct from the looks of it.
Where is the config file placed?
