Hi, we are migrating a larger Open Source project (OpenMeetings) from Hibernate to openJPA for Apache incubation and face some issues with openJPA's dependencies to javax.persistance.PersistanceProvider:
We already have the javaee-api-5.1.1.jar ( http://openmeetings.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/singlewebapp/server/red5/lib/javaee-api-5.1.1.jar) in the servers lib that has an incompatible version of the interface javax.persistance.PersistanceProvide. The application server is a modified Tomcat server integrated with Spring. Now the questions is: When we use the openjpa-2.1.x-all.jar and remove the javax.persistance.* classes from javaee-api-5.1.1.jar we HAVE to move openjpa-2.1.x-all.jar to the servers/lib (instead of webapps/openmeetings/WEB-INF/lib) because the application server itself needs the javax.perstistance.* classes available too. Separating the javax.perstistance.* from the openjpa-2.1.x-all.jar and just moving that to the server-lib doesn't work too as those javax.perstistance.* from the openjpa-2.1.x-all.jar seem to have some depencies to *apache.geronimo.xyz*. So my questions are: Where can we get a javax.persistance.* library that is compatible with openJPA-2.1.x ? The one from the maven directory: http://download.java.net/maven/2/javax/javaee-api/6.0/ does NOT work. It throws some Exception about invalid class. Seems like a compile error in their build server. Where is the best place to put the openJPA-2.1.x JAR(s) ? Servers-lib or WEB-INF/lib ? We want to be able to deploy multiple times the openmeetings-webapp into the same applications server. From my point of view you have to put them into WEB-INF/lib then?
