I have been attempting to configure Alfresco running under JBoss, but no configuration changes make any difference!Working TestFor my test case, I installed Alfresco and JBoss straight out of the box, with minimal configuration:- extract alfresco-labs-war-3Stable.zip
- extract jboss-4.2.3.GA.zip
- copy alfresco.war and share.war from alfresco-labs-war-3Stable.zip to jboss-4.2.3.GA/server/default/deploy
- copy mysql-connector-java-5.1.7-bin.jar to jboss-4.2.3.GA/server/default/lib
- create link from jboss-4.2.3.GA to jboss mostly for my convenience
- create mysql database: mysqladmin -u root create alfresco
- set permissions: echo "grant all on alfresco.* to 'alfresco'@'localhost' identified by 'alfresco' with grant option;grant all on alfresco.* to 'alfresco'@'localhost.localdomain' identified by 'alfresco' with grant option;" | mysql -u root
- Flush the privileges: mysqladmin -u root flush-privileges
- edit Alfresco/jboss/bin/run.sh, Alfresco/jboss/server/default/deploy/ejb3.deployer/META-INF/persistence.properties, Alfresco/jboss/server/default/deploy/jboss-web.deployer/conf/web.xml as the following diff file suggests:

- start alfresco with: ./jboss/bin/run.sh >run1.log &
It runs, but not perfect, showing errors of:- 20:09:35,097 INFO [STDOUT] 20:09:35,097 User
ystem WARN [alfresco.util.OpenOfficeConnectionTester] An initial OpenOffice connection could not be established. - Cannot run program "./ImageMagick/bin/convert": java.io.IOException: error=2, No such file or directory
- Cannot run program "./bin/pdf2swf": java.io.IOException: error=2, No such file or directory
Configuration SetupSo, now lets say that I want to change the login for the MySQL database. Following the directions on this page: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Repository_Configuration#What_Can_Be_Set.3F I should be able to create the file jboss/server/default/conf/props/alfresco/extension/custom-repository.properties with the contents of:db.username=alfresco3
db.password=alfresco3ERROR
I have also tried the properties file at jboss/server/default/conf/alfresco/custom-repository.properties. I would expect an error, showing that the password "alfresco3ERROR" is an invalid login account. Also changes to the following parameters have no affect:- ooo.exe=
- ooo.user=
- img.root=
- swf.exe=
- db.driver=
- db.url=
Am I putting the property file in the proper location?
