Description Kevin Yuan CLA 2009-10-14 16:22:50 EDT 
Currently all our JPA testing on WLS always overwrite org.eclipse.persistence_*.jar under %WLS_HOME%\modules using the latest eclipselink.jar in order to run existing JPA server testing on latest eclipselink.jar. But this configuration will affect other component which dependent on eclipselink.jar within WLS. Just like the suggestion from PM:

There are 2 options available to allow updates to EclipseLink library within WebLogic:

   1. Using SmartUpdate a set of modified classes are applied to the EclipseLink library.
   2. Applications use a more recent version of EclipseLink packaged within their applications and configuration for the filtered classloader (weblogic-application.xml in EAR) 

So the best way for our existing automation testing is "adding eclipselink.jar into application ear and configure the filtered classloader using weblogic-application.xml in EAR".
