But will try to create a standalone example using model.external.worldbank.countries.impl ( https://github.com/Hack23/cia/tree/master/model.external.worldbank.countr... ) in a separate git repo the next few days. Only major difference I could detect from the test-case-templates <exclude-unlisted-classes>false</exclude-unlisted-classes> and <property name="hibernate.archive.autodetection" value="class, hbm"/>, I specify all classes I use directly in the persistence.xml.
