[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Created: (EJB-232) Better documentation for <jar-file> and scanning outside of PU root

[Christian Bauer (JIRA)]

Better documentation for <jar-file> and scanning outside of PU root
-------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: EJB-232
         URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/EJB-232
     Project: Hibernate Entity Manager
        Type: Improvement

  Components: Documentation  
    Reporter: Christian Bauer
    Priority: Minor


> > I'm trying to solve a problem that people will face as soon as they 
> > do unit testing. Given the following directories with classes:
> >
> > - build/classes/MyModel.class @Entity
> > - build/testclasses/META-INF/persistence.xml
> >
> > This doesn't work because the PU root is build/testclasses, and 
> > there are no entities there. I've tried to use <jar-file>file://
> > build/classes</jar-file> to point the scanner to that directory, 
> > but it doesn't work either. Apparently it has to be a JAR file.
> >
> > Maybe we should introduce a syntax or fallback for <jar-file> to 
> > scan a directory. I see no other way how I could split my entity 
> > build path from the test configuration build path. It's almost 
> > impossible to find a project layout in an IDE where you could get 
> > both together and not run into all kinds of issues.
>
> Oh, it works. I had a slash too many in my URL. Maybe we should add 
> this to the documentation:
>
>         <jar-file>file:/home/turin/work/local/lab8/build/classes</jar-file>
