Well, the spec does not allow the persistence.xml to be in the .ear/META-INF although the JBoss implementation does pickup that file from this location. Allowing the persistence.xml to reside in the META-INF of the .ear, causes the jar-file resolution issue that you are running into.

According to the spec, to scope the persistence unit to all components in the .ear, you will have to package the persistence.xml in:

*  META-INF of a jar ﬁle in the root of the EAR
or*  META-INF of a jar ﬁle in the EAR library directory
