java - Is it possible to have persistence.xml in a location other than META-INF?

Question

I want to have my persistence.xml in conf folder of my app. How can I tell Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory that it should read it from there?

Answer 1

If you are using EclipseLink you can set the persistence.xml location with the persistence unit property, "eclipselink.persistencexml".

properties.put("eclipselink.persistencexml", "/org/acme/acme-persistence.xml");
EntityManagerFactory factory = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("acme", properties);
