Thx for the info Craig...got that step working. Didnt have time for research for the past2 days,but now Im back with another problem.
My web project structure is as follows.. /build/classes/test/Scale.class /src/test/Scale.java /web/WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/persistence.xml /web/WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/orm.xml /web/WEB-INF/lib Following is my persistence.xml <persistence xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence"; version="1.0"> <persistence-unit name="myPersistence" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL"> <provider> org.apache.openjpa.persistence.PersistenceProviderImpl </provider> <mapping-file>orm.xml</mapping-file> <class>test.Scale</class> <properties> <property name="openjpa.ConnectionURL" value="myurl"/> <property name="openjpa.ConnectionDriverName" value="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"/> <property name="openjpa.ConnectionUserName" value="myuser"/> <property name="openjpa.ConnectionPassword" value="mypwd"/> <property name="openjpa.Log" value="DefaultLevel=TRACE,Tool=TRACE"/> </properties> </persistence-unit> </persistence> For runtime enhancement is start Tomcat within Eclipse with the following VM arguments : -javaagent:C:\Programme\Eclipse\workspace\JPAWebTest\web\WEB-INF\lib\openjpa-all-0.9.6-incubating.jar=addDefaultConstructor=false ,properties=C:\Programme\Eclipse\workspace\JPAWebTest\web\WEB-INF\classes\META-INF\persistence.xml,-scanDevPath=true, directory=C:\Programme\Eclipse\workspace\JPAWebTest\build\classes,-tmpClassLoader=false My Tomcat starts properly with the following log : 15 TRACE [main] openjpa.Runtime - Setting the following properties from "file:/C:/Programme/Eclipse/workspace/JPAWebTest/web/WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/persistence.xml" into configuration: {openjpa.ConnectionUserName=myuser, openjpa.ConnectionPassword=mypwd, openjpa.Log=DefaultLevel=TRACE,Tool=TRACE, openjpa.MetaDataFactory=Resources=orm.xml, Types=test.Scale, javax.persistence.provider=org.apache.openjpa.persistence.PersistenceProviderImpl, openjpa.ConnectionURL=myurl, openjpa.ConnectionDriverName=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver} 186 INFO [main] openjpa.MetaData - Found 1 classes with metadata in 0 milliseconds.

It explains "all": Command-Line Interface On implementations with a command-line interface, an agent is started by adding this option to the command-line: -javaagent:jarpath[=options] jarpath is the path to the agent JAR file. options is the agent options. This switch may be used multiple times on the same command- line, thus creating multiple agents. More than one agent may use the same jarpath. An agent JAR file must conform to the JAR file specification. The manifest of the agent JAR file must contain the attribute Premain- Class. The value of this attribute is the name of the agent class. The agent class must implement a public static premain method similar in principle to the main application entry point. After the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) has initialized, each premain method will be called in the order the agents were specified, then the real application main method will be called. Each premain method must return in order for the startup sequence to proceed. The premain method has one of two possible signatures. The JVM first attempts to invoke the following method on the agent class: public static void premain(String agentArgs, Instrumentation inst); If the agent class does not implement this method then the JVM will attempt to invoke: public static void premain(String agentArgs); The agent class may also have an agentmain method for use when the agent is started after VM startup. When the agent is started using a command-line option, the agentmain method is not invoked. The agent class will be loaded by the system class loader (see ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader). This is the class loader which typically loads the class containing the application main method. The premain methods will be run under the same security and classloader rules as the application main method. There are no modeling restrictions on what the agent premain method may do. Anything application main can do, including creating threads, is legal from premain. Each agent is passed its agent options via the agentArgs parameter. The agent options are passed as a single string, any additional parsing should be performed by the agent itself. If the agent cannot be resolved (for example, because the agent class cannot be loaded, or because the agent class does not have an appropriate premain method), the JVM will abort. If a premain method throws an uncaught exception, the JVM will abort.
