             Summary: AS7 should pass the property "eclipselink.target-server = JBoss" to persistence providers, or at least EclipseLink
                 Key: AS7-5063
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-5063
             Project: Application Server 7
          Issue Type: Enhancement
          Components: JPA / Hibernate
    Affects Versions: 7.1.1.Final
            Reporter: Craig Ringer
            Assignee: Scott Marlow
            Priority: Minor


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.
