1. Create Service.xml

2. Create ext-spring.xml file as /WEB-INF/src/META-INF/ext-spring.xml

You wont believe but yes we are done!!


Method 2:

1. Make an entry in portal-ext.properties file for another database:

2. create service.xml:

3. create ext-spring.xml file:

NOTE: In both the above methods, we have to create the table manually in the database.
