JPA needs a temporary classloader that can load the same classes as the Module.getClassLoader() returns ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBAS-8904 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBAS-8904 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Task Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Reporter: Scott Marlow Assignee: Scott Marlow Attachments: getNewTempClassLoader.patch JPA PersistenceUnitInfo has a getNewTempClassLoader method that I need to implement. This would be similar to the classloader returned from Module.getClassLoader(). Also see http://download.oracle.com/javaee/6/api/javax/persistence/spi/Persistence... This is a JPA spec requirement but not needed by the Hibernate Persistence Provider (currently). So, we could put this off for a bit.
