Hi,

I have implemented DB object persistence on FUSE 7.0.2 using:

- hibernate via Spring

- OpenJPA via blueprint

I used the persistence bundles that come with FUSE.  I would imagine if you try and start with a custom version of hibernate or OpenJPA you are going to struggle as integrating those is not easy.  The same thing with Aries, i.e. I expect upgrading from the one provided in FUSE will have side effects. 

The hibernate versions is old and not JPA 2 - I hope someone from RedHat (FUSE) is listening and will give us an updated version that works easily with blueprint! 

For example, with OpenJPA via blueprint I installed the following features:

jpa

camel-jpa

jndi

and then the following bundles:

wrap:mvn:

wrap:mvn:net.sourceforge.serp/serp/1.13.1   (workaround needed for OpenJPA)

There is a good tutorial in Part 1 chapter 3 of the "Enterprise OSGi in Action" book called "Persitence pays off".

Also, if you are using fabric please see:

And if using property placeholders in your blueprint with jpa camel:

I should add that I was unable to get the hibernate provided with FUSE to work with camel-jpa - I used OpenJPA for that.
