EclipseLink/Development/JPA 2.0/weblogic

Running JPA 2.0 API on WebLogic 10.3

JSR-317 JPA 2.0 EJB 3.1 Support

• EclipseLink 1.2 and 2.0+ fully implement the JPA 2.0 specification via enhancement # 248291 and are the RI for the GlassFish V3 JEE6 server. In order to use this functionality the 2.0 version of the JPA specification jar - javax.persistence.jar must be added higher in the WebLogic server classpath see enhancement # 296271.
  • In <WEBLOGIC_HOME>\wlserver_10.3\common\bin\commEnv.cmd
    • change
      • set WEBLOGIC_CLASSPATH=%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar...
    • To
      • set WEBLOGIC_CLASSPATH=F:/view_w35d/jpa/plugins/javax.persistence_2.0.0.v200911041116.jar;%JAVA_HOME%\lib\tools.jar...
      • where F:/view_w35d == %SVN_TRUNK
  • Note: do not use the javax.persistence_2.0_preview.jar - the dated javax.persistence_2.0.0.v200911041116.jar one is the final PFD version for the JPA 2.0 specification.

Shared Library Support

• We need to respond to the post about the FilterClassLoader with the procedure on creating a shared library for JPA 2.0 and EclipseLink 2.0 that is above the modules directory on WebLogic classpath.
