When you call "ant demo.setup", a configuration-file is created, based on the build.properties in the $distro/setup folder. If you set the db property to oracle, and run demo.setup, everything should work out of the box (after having installed oracle jdbc driver in maven, see userguide)

If you are not using the demo setup, you can configure the database in the file activiti.cfg.xml, which is located in the activiti-cfg.jar, which should be somewhere on your classpath, depending on the environnement:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<activiti-cfg>
  
  <database type="oracle" schema-strategy="check-version">
    <jdbc url="jdbc:smileysurprised:racle:thin:@localhost:1521:xe"
          driver="racle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
          username="activiti"
          password="activiti" />
  </database>
  
  <job-executor activate="on" />
  
  <mail server="localhost" port="5025" />
  
</activiti-cfg>

Frederik,

Thank you. I ran cfg.create after the demo.setup but forgot to manually deploy activiti-cfg.jar. Problem sorted.
