About configureFromPropertiesResource

[jcosano]

This code (extracted from User Guide) doesn't work in RC1

ProcessEngine processEngine = new ProcessEngineBuilder()
  .configureFromPropertiesResource(configurationResource)
  .buildProcessEngine();‍‍‍‍

Then… which is correct way for do this?

[jcosano]

For the moment I'm using:

ProcessEngine processEngine = new ProcessEngineBuilder().configureFromResource("activiti.properties").buildProcessEngine();

The configuration is changed to XML, see http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ACT-134. Example XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<activiti-cfg>
 
  <database type="h2" schema-strategy="create-if-necessary">
    <jdbc url="jdbc:h2:mem:activiti;DB_CLOSE_DELAY=1000"
          driver="org.h2.Driver"
          username="sa"
          password="" />
  </database>
 
  <job-executor activate="off" />
 
  <mail server="localhost" port="5025" />
 
</activiti-cfg>

Work fine with

ProcessEngine processEngine = new ProcessEngineBuilder().configureFromResource("activiti.cfg.xml").buildProcessEngine();

changes:
- modify configureFromPropertiesResource to configureFromResource
- modify name of file .properties to .cfg.xml

My bad, I revised the configuration chapter but not the API chapter.
I'll fix that asap http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ACT-307

jcosano is indeed correct with his remarks.
