Donald Woods reassigned OPENJPA-1454:
-------------------------------------

    Assignee: Donald Woods

My proposed solution is to:
1) add the validation spec into the openjpa-all jar, to resolve one issue you 
were seeing
2) update the user guide to state that the openjpa-all jar should be used with 
Tomcat when the instrumentation is used, to resolve the issue of missing 
classes from the system classloader


> InstrumentationFactory crashes the tomcat WebappClassLoader by injecting 
> org.apache.openjpa classes into the SystemClassLoader

>
> The InstrumentationFactory tries to find the jar containing the manifest with 
> the pre-main and attaches this jar to the VM.
> This has the side effect that all classes which get loaded via the 
> Instrumentation are added to the 'classes' Vector of the SystemClassLoader. 
> And this causes a problem when running OpenJPA in a WebApplication - because 
> the SystemClassLoader only contains a few of those class definitions, and 
> e.g. executing     
> public void setBrokerFactory(BrokerFactory factory) {
>         _factory = new DelegatingBrokerFactory(factory,
>             PersistenceExceptions.TRANSLATOR);
>     }
> crashes the WebApp because org.apache.openjpa.util.Exceptions is available in 
> the SystemClassLoader but the dependent J2DoPrivHelper is not.
> This is even more problematic when using openjpa-lib, openjpa-kernel, etc as 
> single jars (instead of openjpa-all), because in this case only 
> openjpa-kernel gets injected into the VMs  system classpath - causing the 
> agent to subsequently crash because all the classes from openjpa-lib 
> obviously cannot be found. 
> This might also be an explanation to a few other open JIRAs I've read through 
> the last few days.
