-----------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBJPA-17
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBJPA-17
             Project: JBoss JPA
          Issue Type: Bug
         Environment: JBoss AS 5.1.0.GA, RH x86_64, JDK 1.5.0_18
            Reporter: Brett Cave
            Assignee: Carlo de Wolf


According to EJB 3. Persistence Specification 6.2.1.6:

"One or more JAR files may be specified using the jar-file elements instead of, or in addition to the
mapping files specified in the mapping-file elements. If specified, these JAR files will be searched
for managed persistence classes, and any mapping metadata annotations found on them will be pro-
cessed, or they will be mapped using the mapping annotation defaults defined by this specification. 
Such JAR files are specified relative to the root of the persistence unit "

A JAR file can be referenced absolutely by using the following syntax in persistence.xml:
<jar-file>file:/absolute/path/to/somejar.jar</jar-file>
