Clover.ETL version 2.4.5

Hi,

as it is seen in the following code, plugins directory must be provided as string path such as “C:\ETLplugin”.

EngineInitializer.initEngine(plugins, null, null);

I have integrated the ETL functionality in a EJB service, and wanted to have the plugins directory in the EAR file, not separate. In this case, the initialization of the engine is not possible as the plugins directory is placed in an archive file (EAR).

Is it possible to do the initialization in a different way as it is now and have the plugins directory in EAR file integrated?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,  
we’re currently working on such feature, and it should be available in Clover 2.5.
