Hi Timothy, using the tasklist-blueprint-cdi example (https://github.com/cschneider/Karaf-Tutorial/tree/master/tasklist-blueprint-cdi), I have exchanged H2 by PostgreSQL, added an orm.xml, exchanged the datasource configuration with one for a PostgreSQL DB, created a PostgreSQL DB named tasklist and a schema named tasklist_schema. And it works.
Then I changed the name of the mapping file from orm.xml to tasklist_orm.xml, and it started writing the tables to the public schema. So the problem seems to be that with other mapping file names than orm.xml, it doesnt work. My changes are attached below.
