[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-5062) PersistenceUnitRootURL for JPA providers may not be spec compliant

[Scott Marlow (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-5062?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12709762#comment-12709762 ] 

Scott Marlow commented on AS7-5062:
-----------------------------------

VirtualFile.getPhysicalFile() does make an extra copy of the deployment files, but seems to clean them up at undeploy time (as you would expect).

I'll make the use of VirtualFile.getPhysicalFile() optional based on a persistence unit flag that the user will have to add to their persistence.xml.

> Discussion on the EclipseLink bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=383200 ("On JBoss AS 7, EclipseLink doesn't find entity classes unless they're explicitly listed in persistence.xml") suggests that JBoss AS 7 may not be providing a spec-compliant PersistenceUnitRootURL or contents.
> EclipseLink can't scan the contents of a deployment for @Entity annotated classes, so it doesn't find any entities unless they're explicitly named in persistence.xml .
> http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/api/javax/persistence/spi/PersistenceUnitInfo.html#getPersistenceUnitRootUrl() states:
> {quote}
> java.net.URL getPersistenceUnitRootUrl()
> Returns the URL for the jar file or directory that is the root of the persistence unit. (If the persistence unit is rooted in the WEB-INF/classes directory, this will be the URL of that directory.) The URL will either be a file: URL referring to a jar file or referring to a directory that contains an exploded jar file, or some other URL from which an InputStream in jar format can be obtained.
> *Returns*: a URL referring to a jar file or directory
> {quote}
> ... and that's what EclipseLink expects. However, for EclipseLink class scanning to function correctly an adapter class must be provided, such as the classes provided here:

> to integrate EclipseLink with JBoss's VFS. 
> It may be worth investigating why this is necessary and whether the current behavior is standards compliant.
