Could not locate metadata (orm.xml)

[Lars Vogel]

Hi,

Can anyone point me to a working standalone example there a a orm.xml file
is used instead of Annotations?

I'm able to build a small example with annotations but if I try the same
with orm.xml I receive the following error:

Exception in thread "main" <openjpa-1.0.2-r420667:627158 fatal user error>
org.apache.openjpa.persistence.ArgumentException: Could not locate metadata
for the class using alias "MYAPPLICATION.PEOPLETABLE". This could mean that
the OpenJPA enhancer or load-time weaver was not run on the type whose alias
is "MYAPPLICATION.PEOPLETABLE". Registered alias mappings: "{
MYAPPLICATION.PEOPLETABLE=null, Person=[class datamodel.Person]}"


I have the following orm.xml

<entity-mappings xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/orm";
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/ormorm_1_0.xsd";
    version="1.0">
    <entity class="datamodel.Person">
      <table name="MYAPPLICATION.PEOPLETABLE"/>
        <attributes>
            <id name="id" />
            <basic name="firstName" />
            <basic name="lastName" />
            <transient name="nonsenseField" />
        </attributes>
    </entity>
</entity-mappings>

I have the following persistence.xml
