PCEnhancer needs target classes on classpath!
---------------------------------------------
Key: OPENJPA-302
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-302
Project: OpenJPA
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: docs
Affects Versions: 0.9.7
Environment: Eclipse
Reporter: Carl Smotricz
Priority: Minor
The documentation (sections 3.5.2.1, 3.12.1.2) doesn't make it clear that the
classes to be enhanced need to be on the class path of the PCEnhancer
application or Ant task. In an Eclipse environment, I battled for some hours to
get the enhancer to work.
In my setup, the following appears to be true:
* The application needs a classpath consisting of the OpenJPA libraries as well
as the java compilation destination directory for the compiled entity classes.
Here's how I ran the program (as an application) under Ant:
<target name="enhance2">
<java classpathref="JPA_PATH" classpath="build/classes"
classname="org.apache.openjpa.enhance.PCEnhancer">
<arg line="-d build/classes -p
build/classes/META-INF/persistence.xml
build/classes/com/smotricz/testjpa/Exit.class"/>
</java>
</target>
* As an Ant task, the taskdef needs the OpenJPA libraries on its classpath, but
it does no good to include the compiled classes destination path there. Rather,
the openjpa task will accept a nested classpath element, and this classpath
must contain both the OpenJPA libraries and the compiled entity classes path.
Here's my Ant target for this:
<target name="enhance">
<taskdef name="openjpac"
classname="org.apache.openjpa.ant.PCEnhancerTask" classpathref="JPA_PATH"/>
<path id="ENH_PATH">
<path refid="JPA_PATH"/>
<path refid="CLASSES_PATH"/>
</path>
<openjpac directory="build/classes">
<config
propertiesFile="build/classes/META-INF/persistence.xml"/>
<fileset dir="build/classes">
<include name="**/*.class"/>
<exclude name="**/TestJPA.class"/>
</fileset>
<classpath refid="ENH_PATH"/>
</openjpac>
</target>
Hopefully augmenting the doc with some of this information will save other
users some pain.
