Question

Is it possible to change values in persistence.xml from within the program that is using it ? If yes, i would appreciate some hints or/and links to read.

Answer 1

Yes

    // connect to database
    log.info("Connecting to database @ " + dbUrl + " using " + dbUser + "/" + dbPass);
    emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("manager", Maps.create(
            "javax.persistence.jdbc.user", dbUser,
            "javax.persistence.jdbc.password", dbPass,
            "javax.persistence.jdbc.url", dbUrl
    ));
