Re: [jboss-as7-dev] Setting JPA ClassTranformer and how can a service be started before any DUPs start scanning deployment classes?

I need to start the JPA persistence unit service (javax.persistence.EntityManagerFactory), before the deployments classes have been read. Currently, POST_MODULE_INJECTION_ANNOTATION and other DUPs can read application classes before the persistence unit service is started. I tried changing the JPA related DUPs to start as early as possible but that doesn't help since the JPA persistence unit service doesn't actually start until the INSTALL phase (well after the POST_MODULE_INJECTION_ANNOTATION has already read application classes). If we were to create the javax.persistence.EntityManagerFactory during an early PHASE (probably in a "first time access" phase after the module is defined), we would also need the datasource to be available early (to handle certain cases that require it (e.g. creating database tables or checking JDBC DatabaseMetaData.) Is there a way to get early (equivalent to PHASE.POST_MODULE time) access to a datasource? https://github.com/scottmarlow/jboss-as/tree/AS7-4996_class_transformer_p... contains some hacks that I started and the current JPA datasource access code is at https://github.com/scottmarlow/jboss-as/blob/AS7-4996_class_transformer_p... AS7-4996 is the jira for this change and contains an IRC transcript from a conversation last fall about getting JPA class transformers to work. The changes that we made last fall, worked for the simple test case but not all applications.
