I can't start jboss with a JPA provider

Question

I am migrating from WAS8.5.5 to JBoss EAP6.4.

I got an error message as

12:03:14,362 ERROR [org.jboss.msc.service.fail] (MSC service thread 1-3) MSC000001: Failed to start service jboss.deployment.unit."en_uitemplate.ear".

I created directory as

C:\\Applications\\jboss64\\jboss-eap-6.4\\modules\\system\\layers\\base\\org\\apache\\openjpa\\main

I put the openjpa-2.4.1.jar and serp-1.13.1.jar into it along with the module.xml.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.1" name="org.apache.openjpa">
<resources>
    <resource-root path="openjpa-2.4.1.jar"/>
    <resource-root path="serp-1.13.1.jar"/>
    <!-- Insert resources here -->
</resources>
<dependencies>
    <module name="javax.persistence.api"/>
    <module name="javax.transaction.api"/>
    <module name="javax.validation.api"/>
    <module name="org.apache.commons.lang"/>
    <module name="org.apache.commons.collections"/>
    <module name="org.apache.log4j"/>
</dependencies>

I have my persistence.xml as

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence version="2.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence       http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd">


<persistence-unit name="csxstartershowcaseEJB" transaction-type="JTA">
    <provider>
        org.apache.openjpa.persistence.PersistenceProviderImpl
    </provider>
    <properties>        
        <property name="jboss.as.jpa.providerModule" value="org.apache.openjpa" />
        <property name="openjpa.Log" value="DefaultLevel=TRACE, Runtime=TRACE, Tool=TRACE"/>
        <property name="openjpa.RuntimeUnenhancedClasses" value="supported" />
        <property name="openjpa.ConnectionDriverName" value="org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver"/>
        <property name="openjpa.jdbc.Schema" value="APP" />
        <property name="javax.persistence.jdbc.url" value="jdbc:derby:CSXSampleDatabase;create=true"/>
        <property name="openjpa.jdbc.SynchronizeMappings" value="buildSchema(ForeignKeys=true)"/>       
        <property name="openjpa.MetaDataFactory" value="jpa"/>
    </properties>   
</persistence-unit>

According to the post https://developer.jboss.org/thread/222893 , I also added the below dependency to my EJB and EJBClient project's pom.xml. but I am still getting the same error.

<!-- JPA -->
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.jboss.as</groupId>
    <artifactId>jboss-as-ee</artifactId>
    <version>7.5.0.Final-redhat-21</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>               
<dependency>    
    <groupId>org.jboss.as</groupId> 
    <artifactId>jboss-as-ejb3</artifactId>  
    <version>7.1.1.Final</version>  
    <scope>provided</scope> 
</dependency>   

This is related the message "org.apache.openjpa.persistence.PersistenceProviderImpl ' not found". Any advice?

Answer 1

openJPA not supported in EAP. https://developer.jboss.org/message/964869#964869
