Your best bet to to override the definition of the default delegator.
The easiest way to do this is by editing entityengine.xml and
pointing it to a different datasource.
One way to accomplish this is by writing a new startup script which
renames the entityengine.xml file to the one you want.
1) Create 3 different configurations: entityengine-production.xml,
entityengine-training.xml, entityengine-testing.xml and configure each.
2) Create a script mystartofbiz.sh which either takes a parameter to
know which one to use i.e. training
- cp entityengine-$1.xml entityengine.xml
- use the code to actually start the program.
- invoke your script ./mystartofbiz.sh production
This would be the easiest, and safest method right now.

I know it is possible to use an alternative delegator when

Does anyone know how/if I can point to the application itself at a
different delegator.
Scenario:
I have 3 separate datasources: production, training, and demo
Normally, I'd want the production datasource, and so it is
configured as the default delegator in entitymodel.xml. On occasion
I want to run against the training DB for (you guessed it)
training, and against the demo DB to check whether problems might
be caused by my configuration or code bugs.
What I'd love to do is something like
java -jar ofbiz.jar -delegator=training
to run a training session. When I try to do this, it barfs telling
me it can't load configuration properties in org/ofbiz/base/start/
delegator=training.properties. Would it be as simple as finding a
template for this properties file (presumably default.properties,
but I couldn't find that), and modifying it accordingly. I saw some
JIRA posts that seemed to imply that some of the code assumes we
are using the default delegator, so I might be going down a dead-
end trying to do this.
Advice appreciated.
Cheers, Iain
