Rich DiCroce commented on AS7-5063:
-----------------------------------

About removing static references: in Craig's case, I suppose Version could be loaded at runtime by reflection, but the logger has to implement the SessionLog interface and it has to use the SessionLogEntry class, both supplied by EclipseLink. I don't see how it's even possible to remove those kinds of static references. I think it's a much better idea to figure out how to make the provider's classes available to the adapter. Maybe by somehow detecting the bundled provider and adding the adapter module using the provider's classloader.

> For EclipseLink to properly identify the container and set up correct transaction integration, etc, it needs the property "eclipselink.target-server" to be set to "JBoss".
> There's an open issue asking EclipseLink to auto detect the container (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=383257) but right now, a simple solution to making EclipseLink work well on AS7 is for AS7 to pass that property to EclipseLink.
> That'll help prevent issues and confusion like this: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=365704
> Users can set it as a system property right now as shown on bug 383257, but really it'd be best if JBoss passed it to the persistence unit during creation.
> Time permitting I'll give this a go.
