Can you provide the stack?  You're probably deploying the Equinox JPA 
bundle which you shouldn't do when running on Felix.

EclipseLink works great on Felix and Sun has been using it in GlassFish V3 
(running on Felix) for some time.  The EclipseLink team is working with 
the GlassFish team to ensure it works well because EclipseLink is the JPA 
2.0 reference implementation and will ship in GlassFish as a component in 
the Java EE 6 reference implementation stack.
