Janko Heilgeist commented on GERONIMO-4468:
-------------------------------------------

David, I consulted the specification to refresh my memory on the 
persistence.xml file. You're right, the specification says in section 6.2.6.1:

bq. The classes and/or jars that are named as part of a persistence unit must 
be on the classpath; referencing them from the {{persistence.xml}} file does 
not cause them to be placed on the classpath.

So, the mistake was mine: OpenJPA was correct to ignore the entities not on the 
application classpath.

Regarding my use of the exclude-unlisted-classes property: I remembered its 
usage like it is shown in example 4, section 6.2.1.8, that is specifying the 
tag as {{<exclude-unlisted-classes/>}} sets the property to true; not 
specifying the tag sets the property to false. Looking through the schema of 
persistence.xml, I can see that it is actually used as 
{{<exclude-unlisted-classes>true</exclude-unlisted-classes>}} and, 
correspondingly, to set the property to false. The {{persistence.xml}} included 
in my sample code didn't do, what I expected it to do.

My apologies for complicating the whole issue...
