persistence units in ear's lib need to be global

                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-5423
             Project: Geronimo
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: public (Regular issues)
          Components: deployment, persistence
    Affects Versions: 3.0
            Reporter: David Jencks
            Assignee: David Jencks
             Fix For: 3.0


In EE5 I interpreted this statememt (and possibly others I can't find right 
now) from e.g. EE 8.3.1:

Note that the presence of component-declaring annotations in shared artifacts, 
such as libraries in the library directory and libraries referenced by more 
than one module through Class-Path references, can have unintended and 
undesirable consequences and is not recommended.

to apply to jpa entities so if there's a jar with persistence.xml in the ear 
lib directory we cooked up a persistence unit for each module in the ear.  EE6 
lets you put persistence-context-refs and persistence-unit-refs in the 
application.xml which obviously have to refer to something available at the ear 
level, so my conclusion is that we ought to be deploying persistence units in 
an ear lib once for the whole ear.  (well, maybe also once in each app client).

This makes a lot more sense and aligns better with the osgi jpa stuff.
