I wonder if what's going on is that the test case is getting it's
hands on the Entity classes before we're loaded and able to tell
OpenJPA that the classes need to be dynamically enhanced. OpenJPA's
unenhanced support is ok, but not feature complete.
One way to verify would be to split your test case into two classes;
the TestCase subclass which would do nothing more than setup OpenEJB
via the InitialContext and have a test method that delegated to your
second class which actually did test. The idea being the second class
which references the entity classes wouldn't get loaded until after
the first class has run and setup the dynamic enhancer.
Let us know if that's the case as we can probably document this kind
of OpenJPA specific testing technique. Definitely in Java 6 this kind
of thing will be easier as class redefining is there as well as being
able to install an enhancer post-startup (i.e. no agent).

The problem is that access to any collection from the first Entity
listed as
'subclassed' gives an NPE, which in my configuration is a failure.
The
remaining Entities test fine, and you'll notice that the enhancer
happily
processes that Entity after reporting it being subclassed.
As I stated, it's a mild annoyance because when any tests fail, I
only have
to launch that ant enhancer task and re-run the test. Any thoughts?
following is a portion of my test suite output:
