JBOSS EAP 6.4.5 is not suppoting JPA 2.1

[kotak25krishna]

I am using EAP 6.4.5 which comes with hibernate 4.2.18 version. I want to use hibernate 4.3.11-FINAL version which is JPA 2.1 compliant.

But EAP 6.4.5 is JPA 2.0 compliant. Can you please suggest if there is a way i can override jboss JPA verion from the lib jars in my custom war.

I have googled and tried various options and all are in vain.

Appreciate your suggestion to acheive. Also would like to know using JPA 2.1 with EAP 6.4.5 is a good decision.

Does it has anything to worry to counter/break app server functionality

First of all you have to know that JPA 2.1 is not supported with EAP 6.x.

This is obvious because EAP 6 is based on Java EE 6 spec and JPA 2.1 is part of Java EE 7 spec.

However if you still want to go with JPA 2.1, you can create a custom module and add application dependency on custom module through jboss-deployment-structure.xml file.

Why not just go with EAP7? You can currently grab beta of it, with GA just around the corner.

Given you are developing new application I would definitely opt-in for latest tech stack.

Thanks Cerar. Do you know tentatively by when EAP 7 will be finalized and released, the dates

Real soon. That is as much information as I can give you.

but in any case if you are developing your application now, by time you are done it will definitely be avalible.
