[eclipselink-users] JDBC Driver Class not find using eclipseLink in OSGi

[<Daniel.Stucky@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I have implemented an OSGi service using EclipseLink for persisting
data. The persistence-unit is configured to use the
org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver. When the EntityManager is created
I get the following exception:

Exception [EclipseLink-4003] (Eclipse Persistence Services - 1.0.2
(Build 20081024)): org.eclipse.persistence.exceptions.DatabaseException
Exception Description: Configuration error.  Class
[org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver] not found.

If I add org.apache.derby.jdbc to the import packages of my bundle
containing the service the driver class is found, of course.
However, I don't want to add any dependencies on JDBC drivers to my
bundle manifest. That would mean that besides using EclipseLink my
bundle would only work with those databases for which JDBC drivers are
imported in my bundle.
It should be possible to switch to different databases by configuring
the properties in persistence.xml and not having to adopt imports in the
manifest!

Are there any solutions available for this problem? 

Bye,
Daniel
