Hi Dinkar, I was trying this new ability for enhancer to "see" class files inside jars -- only as a build-time enhancer feature.
The degree of complexity, imo, in ascending order a) ability to refer to a serializable class in a third-party (i.e. unmodifiable) jar. This will support the use case that is cited in this issue. Th referred class itself is not persistence capable, but is referred by other persistence capable classes. b) ability to enhance a persistence capable class that is packaged within a jar. This is doable currently but the enhanced bytecode can not be written in the same jar. Writing the enhanced bytecode to a separate place is possible. The capability to write in-place will be useful to enhance a *.ear or *.war more naturally (currently the *.ear is unpacked, enhanced and repacked) in some application server environments via scripts. ----- Pinaki -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/jira-Created-OPENJPA-1600-Allow-enhancer-to-read-entities-inside-jar-archive-tp4798494p4820934.html Sent from the OpenJPA Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
