Connecting to engine API via EJB3 and "bonita home" property

Q&A
1

My issue is setting up the properties files needed by the client JAR to make the connection. The documentation says “Update the bonita-client.properties file configured in the ${bonita.home}/client/conf folder for the bonita client to connect to the server with the appropriate API type.” I did not create a bonita home directory because I want to use programmatic configuration. What’s more, that very page itself says that the “bonita home client” is deprecated. It also doesn’t mention a bonita-client.properties file, but rather a bonita-client-custom.properties. Are they the same thing?

Does the bonita-client JAR really need a bonita.home directory to configure an EJB3 connection, or can it be done programatically?

Thanks.

PS: That specific page has some organizational issues. Most of the content under “Server configuration” > “Server configuration to accept EJB3 connection” concerns configuring the client and not the server.

I think I may have figured out how to set the properties programatically from the JavaDoc. The documentation is just a bit confusing since it seems to be written assuming bonita.home is being used. Oh well.
