Hi, this seems a common issue while working with Aries JPA: from Stack Overflow (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9430270/enterprise-osgi-frameworks-maturity-comparison-apache-aries-vs-eclipse-gemini):
3: As I like using JTA it was no option for me to use Gemini at all. I used Aries JPA for quiet a while and I was satisfied with it. As I work with many colleagues I am responsible for their effectiveness. With Aries JPA I had the problem that it did not wait for DataSourceFactory services (if db connection is defined in the persistence.xml) or the DataSource services (if jta-data-source or non-jta-data-source) is defined. It meant that the bundle starting order matters when you use Aries JPA. You can find some more info here: http://everit.org/osgi/jpa/org.everit.osgi.jpa.container/ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARIES-840 Is there anyone aware if this issue/behaviour has been taken into account by Aries team? -- View this message in context: http://karaf.922171.n3.nabble.com/Aries-JPA-bundle-start-order-issues-tp4028997p4030096.html Sent from the Karaf - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
