Hello, I'm working on an application that at the moment includes a single (proof-of-concept) entity bean in my main web application WAR, and also large number of entity beans which are JAR'd in the WEB-INF/lib.
Knowing that the persistence management is all outboard and not contained inside of OpenEJB, perhaps you guys could help me with a matter of configuration anyway. I wonder whether there is any way for me to NOT include the <provider> and <properties> elements defining the persistence provider implementation, connection URL, connection driver name, username and password in the persistence.xml file for my entity/POJO jar (the one inside of WEB-INF/lib), but rather configure that specific portion of the persistence.xml file inside of the context of the application that is using these beans? It doesn't seem to be any of the POJO JAR's business what type of persistence provider is being used to persist its contents. I've attached an example of the <provider> and <properties> elements I wish to exclude below. I want to define classes but not persistence provider information in the entity JARs, and define the persistence provider for these persistence-units once at the container level. Is this possible, and if so, how might I accomplish that separation with OpenEJB? Regards, -- Alexander R.
