jBPM 5.0.1 Configuring persistence

[jdh]

I am converting my jBPM 4.4 code over to use 5.0.1 and am trying to configure persistence.  When I run my unit tests to see if everything is working as it did in 4.4 I am getting this error:

No Persistence provider for EntityManager named org.jbpm.persistence.jpa

See the end for the full stack trace.  I have been following the user guide and configured a datasource.xml file and set up the EntityManagerFactory and used it in the creation of the KnowledgeSession.  What am I still missing?  Any help would be appreciated.

Jim

      EntityManagerFactory emf =

          Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory( "org.jbpm.persistence.jpa" );

      Environment env = KnowledgeBaseFactory.newEnvironment();

      env.set( EnvironmentName.ENTITY_MANAGER_FACTORY, emf );

      Collection<StatefulKnowledgeSession> ksConfigs =

                                         kbase.getStatefulKnowledgeSessions();

      if (!ksConfigs.isEmpty()) {

        KnowledgeSessionConfiguration[] sessionArray =

                         (KnowledgeSessionConfiguration[])ksConfigs.toArray();

        if (ksConfigs.size() == 1) {

          sessionConfig = sessionArray[0];

        }

        if (ksConfigs.size() > 1) {

          throw new Exception("More than one KnowledgeSessionConfiguration" +

            " object exists.  We were only expecting one");

        }

      }

      if (ksession == null) {

       ksession = kbase.newStatefulKnowledgeSession(sessionConfig, env );

      }

Hello Jim,

It seems that the jpa persistence provider cannot be found. Have you created a persistence.xml in your classpath as described in,  http://docs.jboss.org/jbpm/v5.0/userguide/ch08.html  ?

Thanks Chris,

Yes, I have followed the User Guide very closely and have a persistence.xml which is copied to the root classes directory on each build so it's in the classpath.  If I have set either of these up wrong I would really appreciate someone pointing out my mistake!  My app defines the datasource as:

      PoolingDataSource ds = new PoolingDataSource();

      ds.setUniqueName("jdbc/sc4DS1");

      ds.setClassName("org.postgresql.Driver");

      ds.setMaxPoolSize(3);

      ds.setAllowLocalTransactions(true);

      ds.getDriverProperties().put("user", "jbpm");

      ds.getDriverProperties().put("password", "PasswordValue");

      ds.getDriverProperties().put("URL", "jdbc:postgresql://ServerName:5432/jbpm");

      ds.init();

Hi Jim,

Are you running on an application server?

If yes have you tried to create a datasource in the applicaiton server ? If you're using jboss then you could use the testDS1-ds.xml , the contents of which are mentioned in http://docs.jboss.org/jbpm/v5.0/userguide/ch08.html .

If that does not work i would suggest to test the rest of your configuration with the default  h2 configuration regarding persistence and if it works then we could focus on the postgres requirements/properties, otherwise something is wrong with the rest of the configuration....  does this make sense ?
