Improved error information for unenhanced classes. 
---------------------------------------------------

                 Key: OPENJPA-1778
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-1778
             Project: OpenJPA
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: jpa
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
            Reporter: Rick McGuire
            Priority: Minor


The exception message issued by openjpa 2.0 for the use of an unenhanced class 
is not as useful as the message issued by the 1.x versions.  In 2.0, the 
following message is received:  

<openjpa-2.0.0-r422266:935683 nonfatal user error> 
org.apache.openjpa.persistence.ArgumentException: Attempt to cast instance 
"org.apache.sample.entities.b...@97781f" to PersistenceCapable failed. Ensure 
that it has been enhanced.
FailedObject: org.apache.sample.entities.b...@97781f

While the same application run using openjpa 1.x gives this message:  

<openjpa-1.2.1-r752877:753278 fatal user error> 
org.apache.openjpa.persistence.ArgumentException: No metadata was found for 
type "class org.apache.sample.entities.Book". The class does not appear in the 
list of persistent types: [org.apache.geronimo.sample.entities.Book].

The 2.0 message no longer points to the persistence.xml definition as the 
potential source of error.  It should give some possible solutions to "Ensure 
that is has been enhanced".  Perhaps something like "Ensure that the class is 
included in the list of persistent types or enhanced as part of the application 
build".
