[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (AS7-3081) Misplaced @PersistenceContext Causes Untraceable Deployment Failure

[Jim Brownfield (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-3081?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12663534#comment-12663534 ] 

Jim Brownfield commented on AS7-3081:
-------------------------------------

@Entity
@PersistenceUnit(name = "persistence/DefaultPersistence", unitName = "DefaultPersistence")
@Table(name = "port_id")
@Resource(name = "jdbc/MyPool", type = javax.sql.DataSource.class, authenticationType = AuthenticationType.CONTAINER, mappedName = "java:/MyPool")
public class PortIdBean implements Serializable, FacilityBased {


What needs to happen is for the exception to be trapped and re-thrown at a higher level so that more information is available. The error didn't even give enough information to determine which file to look at.  I literally had to build jboss in debug just to figure out what was wrong.

Thanks!

> When deploying an ear file that contains an Entity bean with an inappropriate @PersistenceContext annotation, the following stacktrace is generated, and the deployment fails:

> The IllegalArgumentException gives no data for the annotation, the class, or any relevant data to the cause.  I built JBoss debug from source to discover that the culprit in my case was a misplaced PersistenceContext annotation in an entity bean.  The offending annotation had actually existed in a version of our code running in JBoss 4 without error.
