[eclipselink-users] Re: No Class Def when more than one Entity (osgi)

["Tim Hollosy" <hollosyt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Woops figured this out -- well at least I have an error now.

I stepped through it in the debugger, and now I noticed as I step into
my createEntityManagerFactory call , an exception does in fact occur
with a more specific mapping issue.

So lesson learned, exceptions do occur, even though you may not be
aware of them. I don't know why these EclipseLink methods don't throw
exceptions -- are you expecting a general exception handler to pick
them up in a web environment?

I suppose after I call my createEntityManagerFactory I should do a
null check to be sure.

Thanks -- posting to a mailing list is a great way to guarantee you'll
figure out the problem on your own :)
