Howdy.
The 3.0 persistence spec, section 6.2.1.6, indicates that <jar-file>
elements in the persistence.xml should be relative to the root of the
persistence unit. However, I've found that it's digging from the root
of the tomcat installation. I think the PersistenceUnitInfoImpl.java
file is the location of the bug.
For instance, if I put this in my persistence.xml file:
<jar-file>../../lib/first.jar</jar-file>
<jar-file>../../lib/second.jar</jar-file>
It looks for the jars in
/Users/alex/dev/apache-tomcat-6.0.14/bin/../../lib/first.jar
and
/Users/alex/dev/apache-tomcat-6.0.14/bin/../../lib/second.jar
Here's a stack trace to illustrate that:
javax.ejb.EJBException: The bean encountered a non-application
exception.; nested exception is:
