Christian, Good to hear from you again. Hope all is well! The "OSGI application" is an Eclipse RCP client, not a server side implementation. I'm using RESOUCE_LOCAL as recommended with an SE application. Derby is used in embedded mode within the same JVM as the client.
I am hoping there is either an undocumented capability within Derby or a way to get the DriverManager class from JPA provider (EclipseLink). Failing those options, I will have to stop / restart the client multiple times.

It does not work well in OSGi. Instead use Aries JPA or Aries transaction control. Both can provide you with a fully configured EntityManagerFactory and EntityManager that copes well with the dynamics of OSGi.
