I have done much more research on this issue, even after rereading the Install_Configure_Alfresco_Lab3Stable.pdf. It seems that the only way that I can set my own db.username/db.password is to compile from source, and change ./projects/repository/config/alfresco/repository.properties before building.

I've read the installation/configuration document, and on page 31 there is reference to the file alfresco/application-context.xml, which then imports alfresco/core-services-context.xml. Now that file loads the common properties with this section:

    <!– load common properties –>
    <bean id="repository-properties"
          class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
        <property name="ignoreUnresolvablePlaceholders">
            <value>true</value>
        </property>
        <property name="locations">
            <list>
                <value>classpath:alfresco/repository.properties</value>
                <value>classpath:alfresco/version.properties</value>
                <value>classpath:alfresco/domain/transaction.properties</value>
                <!– <value>classpath:alfresco/jndi.properties</value> –>
            </list>
        </property>
    </bean>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

But there is no reference to load the custom-repository.properties as referenced in the documentation. Is there some shortcut custom-property loader available in Tomcat that is not available in JBoss?

Anyone else able to reproduce this failure to load the custom-repository.properties file in JBoss?

source code from svn v13216

I was following that page, which is why I was creating/editing the file at jboss/server/default/conf/props/alfresco/extension/custom-repository.properties.

Using strace, I noticed that JBoss was aware that the file existed (a stat64 was run against the file), but the file was never opened!

Did I place the file in the correct location?
