Re: [eclipselink-users] Testing using Eclipselink SE managed EntityManag

[Tom Ware <tom.ware@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Zachary,

  In an effort to make things convenient, we have added some functionality that 
attempts to automatically detect your entity classes by allowing you to tell the 
persistence unit not to exclude unlisted classes.  Our current implementation 
takes into account the ones we expected would be the most common ones.  (i.e. we 
have handling for jar files, for an exploded directory format and for certain 
types of URLs)  It appears as though your maven-based deployment scheme is not 
currently supported.

  In general, we would like to support this functionality in as many ways as 
possible.  I suggest entering an enhancement request with a detailed description 
of how your maven deployment is set-up.  i.e. how to recreate the problem you 
are seeing.

  If you are interested in seeing how this functionality is implemented or in 
debugging, the majority of the code can be found in our 
org.eclipse.persistence.internal.jpa.deployment package.  You should start by 
looking at the classes that have "Archive" in their classname, starting with 
ArchiveFactoryImpl.

BTW: If you take a look at the JPA Spec, in Java SE, in order to be portable, 
applications are required to list all the classes in the persistence.xml.  This 
is considered to be a best practice for Java SE applications.
