Hi, In order to pass TCK for TomEE, I had to patch OpenJPA to avoid side effects with other providers such as EclipseLink for instance.
The change I made makes sense to be included in OpenJPA in my opinion. But I'd like to gather some thoughts for this change https://github.com/apache/tomee-jakarta/commit/4d579785f7554c59b83d0060ec8c1ead81385738#diff-1aba75a7cc55951fb938c64a533fc9de63c3139b3aec5cf1279a96394d910b1e I can create a JIRA ticket and submit a PR to OpenJPA if you guys think it makes sense. In essence it prevents OpenJPA from doing something when a JPA provider is explicitly specified. It will only do something if no JPA provider is specified or if OpenJPA is the JPA provider configured. -- Jean-Louis Monteiro http://twitter.com/jlouismonteiro http://www.tomitribe.com
