Jeremy Bauer commented on OPENJPA-1410: --------------------------------------- I committed a change under rev 924395 that disables the dynamic enhancer if the OpenJPA instrumentation factory is not loaded by the system classloader. In a multi-tier classloader environment (Tomcat, JEE app server, etc.) the OpenJPA jar was being loaded by the container classloader and then loaded a second time into the system classloader (as an agent). This lead to linkage issues since OpenJPA classes were loaded from multiple loaders and there ended up being a mix of classes in the execution path. After correcting this issue, the subclassing enhancer is working again (but that has its own set of deficiencies and is not recommended) - but agent-based enhancement (-javaagent:...) is not. This is not a result of my change, there is some other issue. I plan on looking into that next. As of rev 924395 the openjpa.DynamicEnhancementAgent=false property should no longer be required, but build time enhancement of entities may still be necessary. > Class linkage exception when creating an EMF with OpenJPA M3 > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: OPENJPA-1410 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-1410 > Project: OpenJPA > Issue Type: Bug > Components: validation > Affects Versions: 2.0.0-M3, 2.0.0-beta, 2.0.0-beta2 > Environment: Tomcat and Glassfish, OpenJPA M3 > Reporter: Jeremy Bauer > Assignee: Jeremy Bauer > Priority: Critical > Fix For: 2.0.0 > > > Posted by Seth Jackson on the user forum[1]. > It appears something was modified in OpenJPA 2.0 M3 from M2 that causes a > LinkageError. > In my current environment, I've tested both Glassfish and Tomcat using M2 > and M3.
