Take a look at the class:

com.babeldoc.core.config.ConfigService

The class looks for the system property called 'babel.config'  -  if this is 
provided then this class is instantiated and used as the singleton 
configuration class.  This class must adhere to a small number of  
configuration calls.  Now if this system property is not provided, then the 
regular 'LightConfigService' is used, which operates on property files.

If you want to use the SqlConfigService, you need to set the system property 
to:

-dbabel.config=com.babeldoc.sql.config.SqlConfigService

This can be done by updating the babeldoc.bat script.

You will need to look into the SqlConfigService - there are a number of system 
properties that you will need to set up to get the login information to it.

Not that I am aware of.

Erik,

Could you subscribe to the babeldoc-devel list on sourceforge and then we can 
communicate though it
