As the deploytool adds the suffix to the table names like Customer is changed to CustomerBeanTable, I usually go and edit the entries in the xml file, redo jar and place it in application dir and then restart j2ee. Today I observed that I could change the name of the table in the xml to junk values, it still the server loads fine and my application which uses that table also runs fine. I was wondering at how the J2EE server uses the xml file and does it cache the information in the ri.xml file somewhere. Or does it not use the runtime information and remembers the information given at deployment creation time somewhere. Other strange experience I used to have (& the reason I manually edit this xml file) is that I have several tables in the Oracle database and none end with "BeanTable" and I turn off the option of creating/deleting tables at deployment time. But still the RI is able to find all the right tables (except for one )d espite the xml file showing all tables with suffixes "BeanTable". Does the RI use some fuzzy logic ? I am all fuzzy right now ...
