                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-1460
             Project: OpenJPA
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
            Reporter: Fay Wang
            Assignee: Fay Wang
             Fix For: 2.0.0


Per JPA 2.0 spec, section 8.2.2:
An EJB-JAR, WAR, application client jar, or EAR can define a persistence unit. 
When referencing a persistence unit using the unitName annotation element or 
persistence-unit-name deployment descriptor element, the visibility scope of 
the persistence unit is determined by its point of definition:

(1) A persistence unit that is defined at the level of an EJB-JAR, WAR, or 
application client jar is scoped to that EJB-JAR, WAR, or application jar 
respectively and is visible to the components defined in that jar or war.

(2) A persistence unit that is defined at the level of the EAR is generally 
visible to all components in the application. However, if a persistence unit of 
the same name is defined by an EJB-JAR, WAR, or application jar file within the 
EAR, the persistence unit of that name defined at EAR level will not be visible 
to the components defined by that EJB-JAR, WAR, or application jar file unless 
the persistence unit reference uses the persistence unit name # syntax to 
specify a path name to disambiguate the reference. When the # syntax is used, 
the path name is relative to the referencing application component jar file. 
For example, the syntax ../lib/persistenceUnitRoot. jar#myPersistenceUnit 
refers to a persistence unit whose name, as specified in the name element of 
the persistence.xml file, is myPersistenceUnit and for which the relative path 
name of the root of the persistence unit is ../lib/persistenceUnitRoot. jar. 
The # syntax may be used with both the unitName annotation 
 element
or persistence-unit-name deployment descriptor element to reference a 
persistence unit defined at EAR level.
