    PersistenceUnitInfo

      I was trying to integrate the Glassfish's Toplink entity manager into jboss and I am running into some problems. There is an exception being thrown by the glassfish entity manager when it makes a call to

      PersistenceUnitInfo.getNewTempClassLoader();

      The jboss implementation (org.jboss.ejb3.entity.PersistenceUnitInfoImpl) returns null. Is there any reason for this? Is there any plan to implement this method in the near future? Is there a way to override the implementation of the persistence unit info myself?

      Thanks,

      Bo

          Is there any word on this?

              Hi, There is a fix for the secondary NPE in this bug within EclipseLink M7 under bug#227630

              This is a fix for the NPE when doing a universalClassLoader3.loadClass() - the call to aPersistenceUnitInfo.getNewTempClassLoader() returns a [UCL3] not [null] in this case.

              The JBoss SPI implementation for persistenceUnitInfo.getNewTempClassLoader() is causing a NPE problem when using the JBoss4 UniversalClassLoader3 - returning [null] for UCL3.loadClass(entity).
              A secondary NPE occurs in EclipseLink when trying to use this [null] missing entity class. The workaround is to handle the original NPE and disable weaving for the session.

              See
              https://bugs.eclipse.org/227630
              https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=96619&action=diff

              Thank you for raising this issue.

                Hi,
                The following workaround has been checked in for EclipseLink M8 to work with JBoss 4.2.2 GA.
                Container managed entities should predeploy/deploy and register now with/without static weaving.
                When the UCL3 classLoader no longer causes a NPE (See JIRA http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/EJBTHREE-572 ) we will reenable dynamic weaving on EAR predeploy().

                http://bugs.eclipse.org/229634

                Workaround:
                ---------------------------------
                EclipseLink will use the non-temporary classLoader instead of the one from getNewTempClassLoader() obtained from the JBoss PersistenceUnitInfo that throws a NPE on loadClass() or Class.forName().
                We require that JBoss implementers statically weave container managed entities and reference JBoss as the target-server in persistence.xml.

                Deployment Changes:
                1) If weaving is required then static weave the entities before EAR packaging using either the command-line weaver or the weaving ant task.
                2) All persistence units deployed to the JBoss container must contain the following property in persistence.xml or container managed entities will predeploy but fail to be managed at runtime.



                JBoss AS 4.2.2 GA debugging:
                ----------------------------------------------------------
                I debugged the UCL3 NullPointerException into the JBoss AS 4.2.2 GA source into the following segment of code.

                In the following function the classloader parent tree is searched all the way to the root.
                no clazz is returned and in the finally clause the last log.trace causes a RuntimeException on a NPE.
                Curious though that the line number in Logger.trace() does not correspond to the JDK 1.5 src.

                package org.jboss.mx.loading
                public abstract class RepositoryClassLoader extends URLClassLoader
                public Class loadClass(String name, boolean resolve)
                throws ClassNotFoundException
                ...
                finally
                ...
                --->NPE log.trace("loadClass " + this + " name=" + name + " not found");
                }
                }
                }
