openjpa-all jar is missing slf4j runtime dependency
---------------------------------------------------
Key: OPENJPA-2172
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-2172
Project: OpenJPA
Issue Type: Bug
Components: samples, validation
Affects Versions: 2.2.0, 2.3.0, 2.2.1
Reporter: Kevin Sutter
I just tried the JSE version of the OpenBooks example
(../openjpa-examples/openbooks) and it turns out that we're missing the SLF4J
runtime dependency in our openjpa-all jar file. This SLF4J dependency comes
about because of our dependency on Bean Validation (bval). We're pulling in
the SLF4J API from slf4j-api, but we're missing the runtime from slf4j-simple.
There are two resolutions to this. We can modify the ../openjpa-all/pom.xml to
include the following dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>slf4j-simple</artifactId>
<version>${slf4jVersion}</version>
</dependency>
Or, we can tell OpenJPA that OpenBooks does not depend on bean validation
(which it doesn't). We can do this via this additional configuration property
in the persistence.xml for the OpenBooks sample:
<validation-mode>NONE</validation-mode>
The most complete solution is to modify the pom.xml when building the
openjpa-all jar. The unfortunate thing with this approach is that we have
already released 2.2.0 which already is missing this slf4j runtime. Maybe
we'll just have to add a "readme" to that download. We can fix it in 2.2.x and
trunk though. And, if somebody hits this with the 2.2.0 release, hopefully
they are not using bean validation and they can set the validation-mode to NONE.
