Chris, we just figured this out. It seems the orm.xml file needs to be in the same directory as the persistence.xml file. I injected the orm.xml file into the rave-core-0.9-incubating.jar. Then I had to re-package the portal.war file so it included the new jar.
To point to a different User table we mapped the person table to a view (personview) which referenced our internal user table. We mapped to Person instead of User since there is technically no user table, just extending the person model. Here is a copy of the orm.xml we used to accomplish this. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <entity-mappings xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/orm"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/orm http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/orm_1_0.xsd"; version="1.0"> <package>org.apache.rave.portal.model</package> <entity class="org.apache.rave.portal.model.Person"> <table name="personview" /> </entity> </entity-mappings> - Shawn On Fri, Mar 30, 2012 at 11:38 AM, Chris Geer <[email protected]> wrote: > We are looking to modify how Rave is mapping to the backend DB tables and > have run into a wall.
