I guess the official way to customize how connections are made is via
a user-provided DataSourceFactory [1]. The class name implementing
factory interface can be entered in the Modeler for the DataNode in
the "DataSource Factory" field. "getDataSource" method may return a
lazy DataSource decorator that would pops up a dialog window on the
first attempt to obtain a connection.

Hope this helps.

And look at section 3 there, Customizing Configuration. That should
help. If not, let us know.

Hi,
I'm new to cayenne, and am hoping it will prove to be the silver
bullet I've
been waiting for after much frustration with TopLink, Hibernate and
the
like!
I'd like to know how I can specify the location of my database (ie
the
connection URL) at runtime in code rather than in the driver.xml
file.
This is because this is to be used in a desktop app using embedded
derby
where the location of the database will vary across different
installations.
I would also, for example, need to be able to allow the user to
browse for
the database location, then use that path to open a connection to the
database.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Colin Bankier.
