Yes, but this does not require access to a data source. Instrumentation simply needs to modify a small subset of classes (those marked as entities)

That’s not possible because @Resource can’t be processed without the final class loader.

That seems to be the real solution, and there is really no reason why a JPA provider needs to do anything with a datasource in order to know how to instrument the entity class.

I’m not sure I follow the problems with this one.

That shouldn’t matter if the data source usage was in a later phase.

I’m not sure what specific spec flaw you are referring to here, this seems to really just be an implementation problem on our side. Unless you mean the JPA SPI with the temp class loading stuff, in which case I totally agree, but we don’t have to use it with our hibernate integration anyway.

Wouldn't be preferable to use the original java:jboss/datasources/ExampleDS JNDI name, or use an ear and define a java:app bind  at application.xml, to be shared by all modules and components?
