Hi everyone. Thanks to your pointers, I've found how to proceed. This is what I do :
You have to load "manually" your Torque properties file instead of deleguating this to Torque.init( String filePath ). - Create a PropertiesConfiguration : PropertiesConfiguration torqueConf = new PropertiesConfiguration(); - Load the .properties file : torqueConf.load(PSCDataControl.class.getResourceAsStream(_torqueProperties)); - Add the properties you don't have to store in your configuration file : torqueConf.addProperty(_torqueConnectUrlProperty, PSCSGBD.CONNECT); - Then, use the Torque.init( Configuration conf ) method : Torque.init(torqueConf); - You can check good ignition by calling Torque.isInit().
