[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (EJB-374) persistence.xml <jar-file> not following JSR220 spec

persistence.xml <jar-file> not following JSR220 spec ---------------------------------------------------- Key: EJB-374 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/EJB-374 Project: Hibernate Entity Manager Issue Type: Bug Components: EntityManager Affects Versions: 3.4.0.CR2 Environment: regression: 3.3.2.GA, 3.4.0.CR2 Reporter: Jeff Ferber Fix For: 3.5 Attachments: Quick_fix_to_EJB-374.patch JSR220 says <jar-file> is relative to the root of the persistence unit, which is the place containing the META-INF/persistence.xml This is not the case. Instead, it looks for the jar relative to the JVM working directory. (see JarVisitorFactory.java) So providing an absolute file path in <jar-file> works, but not a relative path because the root changes changes based on the situation and environment. E.g., the directory you run ant, when running tomcat, etc.
